Hurt's Still There

Just me in this shell

Bridge

When the noise fades out, and I’m by myself

That’s when I break down, cry for some help

Haunted by faces I can still recall

Wishin’ for one more chance, but I’m talking to walls

Verse 3

Empty rooms echo with words unsaid

Memories linger in the space beside my bed

If I could wish on a star falling through the sky

I’d beg for one more moment, just a simple goodbye

Chorus

I’m hiding demons inside, can’t let ‘em out

The pain stays buried deep, no one hears me shout

I put on a front, got a smile I wear

Laugh with the crowd but the hurt’s still there

Post-Chorus

Yeah, the hurt’s still there

Nobody can see

Yeah, the hurt’s still there

But it’s breaking me

Outro

Moonlight’s creeping through a cracked window pane

I pour another drink, try to drown out the rain

These walls remember every word I regret

Still sleeping in shadows, can’t let myself forget

Half-empty prayers lost in the night air

Promises broken, too heavy to bear

If tomorrow looks like today

Guess I’ll keep on pretending I’m okay

Yeah, the hurt’s still there

Like a ghost I can’t flee

Yeah, the hurt’s still there

And it’s swallowing me

Coda

Sunrise again but it don’t feel new

Coffee goes cold, I stare straight through

Phone’s collecting dust from calls I won’t return

Old friends don’t ask, guess they know I’ll burn

Another day crawls by the same old road

Car radio singing what I already know

I reach for hope but my hands come up dry

Swallowed by silence, letting dreams pass by

Yeah, the hurt’s still there

Digs deeper each day

Yeah, the hurt’s still there

Won’t ever fade away
