Lyrics
Everybody Hurts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life
Well, hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life
Well, hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
And everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone
If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on
Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes
And everybody hurts
Sometimes
So, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Everybody hurts
No, no, no, no, no
You're not alone
