Everybody hurts

These feelings inside of me, I just can't seem to hide,
Because I just can't pretend anymore, it hurts too much inside.
It's like I just feel like screaming, I just wanna shout,
I just wanna come out and say what I've been trying to talk about.

Some things in life just don't make sense and I just can't understand why,
I often get discouraged, sad, and pissed off no matter how hard I try.
It scares the hell out of me and at times I just feel like letting go,
But on the other hand, there's just something telling me to hold on, just take it slow.

It seems like just yesterday that things were going OK,
But now it seems so different, why do things have to be this way.
I'm barely hanging on and I can't pretend anymore because I'm just not strong,
And I just can't make it seem like everything's OK when really nothing else could go wrong.

I always think about my friends and how much they love me,
And how it hurts to say I'm hurting because they're like family.
I often sit and think about the memories and all the times I'll never forget,
I could sit here for hours, remembering all the good days and the ones I'll always regret.

Like the times you'd be hurting, the way you'd always be feeling bad,
When it would be me who'd always be feeling sad.
And how everybody hurts, your not the only one feeling pain,
And how everybody has feelings that sometimes they just can't explain.

Sometimes I just get so sad that I close my eyes and just start to cry,
Because some days I just get so sick without knowing the reasons why.
I often wake up in the morning telling myself I can do this, let's just restart,
But then there's that one bump in my day and everything just always seems to fall apart.

It's hard to live this life I've lived, and if only you felt the pain I feel,
It's like I dream of a better life, only to awake and find out what's really real.
You see I still don't really understand, my sickness just gets worse each and every day,
And if something were to happen, I could just disappear and slip away.

Because you only get one chance in life, and no matter how hard I try,
Things will never be the same no matter how many tears I cry.
But for now I'll just live my life to the fullest and just take it day by day,
Even know it's hard to move on and deal with this pain that'll never go away.

But if I don't get the chance and if I miss the come of tomorrow,
Just remember that I'll always be in your heart so there's no need for tears and sorrow.
And when nothing seems to matter anymore, and there's nothing but tears in your eyes,
Just remember that everybody hurts and that everybody cries.
