lyrics
Life Hurts
And in the meantime, you falter
You search for somebody to love
You question why you can’t bring the ocean to your feet
You’re not lonely, you just don’t know where to start.
And I know why you can’t see tomorrow
It seems so much farther away
But I promise, if you hold your heart in your hand
It’ll be that much harder, to throw it away.
And If, for some reason you do lose your love
And you’ve buried your faith in the ground
Don’t drop to your knees, lift your eyes and look around
I promise there’ll be someone to lift you when you’re down
I know why you can’t feel the waves at your feet
You still have your tennis shoes on
And you have been running over mountainous land
So, take them off and let the cold waves
Bury them in the sand
Hey you,
I know why you falter
You’re searching for someone to love
You finally see, you have the whole world at your feet
Now you’re lonely, and you know it’s time to start.
Now you’re lonely and you know it’s time to start.
And in the meantime, you falter
You search for somebody to love
You question why you can’t bring the ocean to your feet
You’re not lonely, you just don’t know where to start.
And I know why you can’t see tomorrow
It seems so much farther away
But I promise, if you hold your heart in your hand
It’ll be that much harder, to throw it away.
And If, for some reason you do lose your love
And you’ve buried your faith in the ground
Don’t drop to your knees, lift your eyes and look around
I promise there’ll be someone to lift you when you’re down
I know why you can’t feel the waves at your feet
You still have your tennis shoes on
And you have been running over mountainous land
So, take them off and let the cold waves
Bury them in the sand
Hey you,
I know why you falter
You’re searching for someone to love
You finally see, you have the whole world at your feet
Now you’re lonely, and you know it’s time to start.
Now you’re lonely and you know it’s time to start.
