【Intro】 I thought the pain would stay forever But days kept moving on The world didn't wait for me It just kept going 【Verse 1】 I stayed inside the same old room With the same thoughts in my head Outside, people kept moving While I stayed where I was The things that hurt me slowly faded Without me doing anything Even the sharpest memories Started losing their edge 【Pre-Chorus】 I know I could go outside I know I could take a walk Maybe time would do its job If I let it 【Chorus】 But I still sit with the pain Like it's something I need I know I'm holding it too long I know it's keeping me here Maybe I like being the one who's hurt Maybe I need this feeling If I let the wound disappear What would be left of me? 【Verse 2】 I watch the days get further away From everything that happened The words don't hurt as much now I just remember that they did Funny how a person keeps moving Even when they don't mean to One day becomes another And the wound becomes a scar I guess people heal like that Without making a big decision They get up, go somewhere And slowly leave it behind 【Pre-Chorus】 I know I could go outside I know I could take a walk Maybe time would do its job If I let it 【Chorus】 But I still sit with the pain Like it's something I need I know I'm holding it too long I know it's keeping me here Maybe I like being the one who's hurt Maybe I need this feeling If I let the wound disappear What would be left of me? 【Verse 3】 Sometimes I think I'm almost better Then I start looking back again I find the old familiar feeling And let it pull me down It's a little pathetic, I know Being sad can feel so safe If I'm still the one who's hurting I don't have to change Maybe I've made a home here Inside something that should end Maybe losing all this pain Feels worse than having it 【Pre-Chorus】 I know I could go outside I know I could take a walk Maybe time would do its job If I let it 【Chorus】 But I still sit with the pain Like it's something I need I know I'm holding it too long I know it's keeping me here Maybe I like being the one who's hurt Maybe I need this feeling If I let the wound disappear What would be left of me? 【Bridge】 Maybe healing isn't magic Maybe I just have to move One small step into the morning One thing I don't have to prove But not tonight Not quite yet I want to stay here Just a little longer 【Chorus】 But I still sit with the pain Like it's something I need I know I'm holding it too long I know it's keeping me here Maybe I like being the one who's hurt Maybe I need this feeling If I let the wound disappear What would be left of me? 【Outro】 The days will keep on moving Even if I don't Maybe I'll get up tomorrow Maybe I won't The pain is getting quieter I can feel it changing now I just don't know who I'll be When there's nothing left to hurt Maybe tomorrow I'll finally move Or maybe I'll stay here Just one more day
