# EVERYTHING HURTS **[Intro]** Yeah... I don't even know what I'm supposed to feel anymore. Everything I touch turns into something I gotta heal from... So if I sound tired... It's 'cause I am. **[Verse 1]** Everything hurts, even memories I thought I buried, Every word that I swallowed got a weight that I carry, Every scar on my heart got a story attached, Every time that I loved, I got a portion of it back. I been fighting with feelings I don't know how to name, Trying to hide all the damage underneath of my frame, I can laugh with a room full of people around me, Then go home to the silence where the sadness surrounds me. I got pain in the places that nobody sees, Got a war in my head and it don't ever sleep, Got a heart full of things that I wanted to say, But whenever I open my mouth, they escape. So I write every thought that I can't communicate, Turn the hurt into art, let the beat take the weight, If I bleed on the page, maybe I'll finally breathe, Maybe everything hurting is a part of me healing. **[Pre-Hook]** And I know... I can't keep pretending I'm okay. But I don't know... How to make all of this pain go away. **[Hook]** Everything hurts, everything hurts, Even when I'm smiling, I'm still feeling the worst, I can say I'm okay, but my heart knows the truth, I'm just trying to survive what I've been going through. Everything hurts, everything hurts, Love can turn to a lesson when it cuts deep first, If I fall, let me fall, I been falling for years, I ain't scared of the pain, I'm just tired of the tears. Everything hurts... Yeah, everything hurts. **[Verse 2]** I got nights I remember and nights I erased, Got some people I miss and some I can't face, Got apologies sitting untouched in my phone, Got a thousand "I love yous" that I never once spoke. I got trust issues growing like cracks in the glass, Got a fear that the future's just repeating the past, Every promise sounds different when you've heard them before, Every "forever" gets quiet when somebody walks out the door. I've been looking at myself like, "Who did I become?" Trying to find who I was before the damage was done, Before every goodbye made me question my worth, Before love felt like something that I had to deserve. Now I'm carrying pressure like a pack on my spine, Tryna keep everybody else from breaking while I'm Barely holding together, but I smile through the fracture, Turn emotional disasters into lyrical chapters. I don't need you to save me, I just need you to listen, 'Cause there's pain in my silence that I never could mention, And the more that I bury, the more that it burns, So I'm digging through the dirt just to see what I've learned. **[Pre-Hook]** And I know... I can't keep pretending I'm okay. But I don't know... How to make all of this pain go away. **[Hook]** Everything hurts, everything hurts, Even when I'm smiling, I'm still feeling the worst, I can say I'm okay, but my heart knows the truth, I'm just trying to survive what I've been going through. Everything hurts, everything hurts, Love can turn to a lesson when it cuts deep first, If I fall, let me fall, I been falling for years, I ain't scared of the pain, I'm just tired of the tears. Everything hurts... Yeah, everything hurts. **[Bridge]** Maybe pain ain't the enemy, Maybe it's evidence I'm still alive, Maybe every scar that I carry Is proof that I survived. Maybe I don't gotta fix everything tonight, Maybe I can just breathe, Maybe healing ain't forgetting what happened, Maybe healing is learning to live with the memories. **[Verse 3]** So I talk to the kid that I used to be, Tell him, "I know you were scared, but you're still with me," Every loss, every heartbreak, every lesson I earned, Every bridge that I crossed, every bridge that I burned. I ain't proud of every chapter, but I won't tear the pages, 'Cause the worst of my moments helped create what I became, I was trapped in a cycle, now I'm breaking the pattern, Turned the weight of my pain into words that can matter. If my voice shakes, let it shake, I'm not hiding it now, If my eyes get wet, I ain't ashamed of it now, I spent years thinking weakness meant showing the cracks, Now I know being honest is how you put yourself back. And I still got bad days, still got nights I get lost, Still got wounds that remind me of everything it cost, But I'm done letting pain tell me who I should be, It can live in my history without living in me. So if everything hurts, then I'll hurt and keep moving, If I'm broken in places, I'll rebuild what is ruined, I don't need to be perfect, I just need to be real, 'Cause the fact that it hurts means there's something to heal. **[Final Hook]** Everything hurts, everything hurts, Even when I'm smiling, I'm still feeling the worst, I can say I'm okay, but my heart knows the truth, I'm still trying to survive what I've been going through. Everything hurts, everything hurts, But I'm learning that the pain doesn't have to be first,
