This is Gonna Hurt

Verse 1

I read your silence like a loaded gun

Smiled like nothing, but I knew you’d run

Every word you never said out loud

Cuts through me even when you’re not around

Pre-Chorus

Hold my breath, don’t say a word

Truth is louder than I’ve ever heard

Chorus 1

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

Breaking in places I won’t let it show

I keep pretending I’m letting you go

But this is gonna hurt more than you will know

Post-Chorus

Still it lingers, still it stays

Like a ghost I can’t erase

Verse 2

You left your shadow on my bedroom wall

Echoes of laughter in an empty hall

I keep the pieces that you left behind

Like they could somehow keep you in my mind

Pre-Chorus

Same old ache in a different tone

I built this heart from broken bone

Chorus

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

Falling apart in a soft afterglow

I wear the damage like it’s all I show

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

Post-Chorus

Still it lingers, still it stays

Like a ghost I can’t erase

Guitar Solo

Bridge

And I swear I tried to turn the page

But every line just fuels the rage

If love is loss then I’ve been told

We burn too bright, we grow too cold

Verse 3

I hear your voice in fading light

It cuts through every silent night

I let it go, I let it break

For every truth I couldn’t take

Pre-Chorus

Hold my breath, don’t say a word

Truth is louder than I’ve ever heard

Chorus

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

Like shattered glass in a fading glow

I’m holding on, but I can’t let go

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

Post-Chorus

Still it lingers, still it stays

Like a ghost I can’t erase

Guitar Solo

Verse 4

So here we stand in what remains

Between the loss and all the pain

No heroes left, no alibi

Just truth too heavy to deny

Chorus

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

No more places left to go

I finally break, I finally show

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

Post-Chorus

Still it lingers, still it stays

Like a ghost I can’t erase

Guitar Solo

Post-Chorus

Still it lingers, still it stays

Like a ghost I can’t erase

Final Chorus

No more places left to go

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

No more places left to go (No places left)

This is gonna hurt more than you will know

I finally break, I finally show

This is gonna hurt more than you will know
