lyrics

This pain I know like nothing else
It hurts like hell, it feels like home
It sits right down at my side
It seeps into my bones

I held it like someone I loved
It hurts like hell, it feels like home
It carved itself into my bosom
It won't leave me alone

They say everybody hurts like I do
But they wear it better than I
And if time could heal it, I'd be through
But here I lie

It took my name and wore my face
It hurts like hell, it feels like home
There are years I wish I could erase
And sins I can't atone

But here I am, five shots deep
It hurts like hell, it feels like home
I can't eat and I don't sleep
And love I cannot know

They say everybody hurts like I do
But they wear it better than I
And if time could heal it, I'd be through
But here I lie

I don't want to talk it over
You're sick of hearing me cry
Try as I may, you could never
Understand why

I don't want to take you through it
For another long night
I must stuff it down, just let me drown
Let me fade from sight

They say everybody hurts like I do
But they wear it better than I
And if time could heal it, I'd be through
But here I lie

They say count your blessings each morning
But it all feels so far from me
And they say to change my focus
But this is all I see
