Why it hurts

Intro

Oh oh

Mmm

Oh oh

Chorus

Why does your laughter feel like a jagged blade

Sliding right through my chest

While I am drowning under the weight of this shade

Finding no peace or rest

Why do you get to breathe easy tonight

Walking through a garden of gold

While I am starving for one bit of light

In a room that is turning so cold

Why does it hurt so bad

Why does it hurt

Verse 1

Candles flicker low

You have everything that I will never know

Peace is a stranger

Fear is my anchor

Pain is my neighbor

Walking home through a thick wall of freezing rain

Watching your shadow move inside your window pane

Chorus

Why does your laughter feel like a jagged blade

Sliding right through my chest

While I am drowning under the weight of this shade

Finding no peace or rest

Why do you get to breathe easy tonight

Walking through a garden of gold

While I am starving for one bit of light

In a room that is turning so cold

Why does it hurt so bad

Why does it hurt

Verse 2

Stars look like teeth

Everything is broken down deep underneath

My spirit is thin

My spirit is paper

My spirit is vapor

Looking at the smiles that I can't ever replicate

Bitter fruit sits heavy on my empty dinner plate

Bridge

Maybe you earned this

Maybe I failed this

Maybe we both just want to survive

But your joy is a storm

And I am not warm

Watching the lucky ones stay alive

Chorus

Why does your laughter feel like a jagged blade

Sliding right through my chest

While I am drowning under the weight of this shade

Finding no peace or rest

Why do you get to breathe easy tonight

Walking through a garden of gold

While I am starving for one bit of light

In a room that is turning so cold

Why does it hurt so bad

Why does it hurt
