Hurts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't mind,
If your hands a little cold.
Cause I'm alive,
But I got no way to go.

So stay with me Evelyn.
Don't leave me with a medicine.
In the night
As you sit and watch me sleep
I know you cry
But I never want to see.
So if you go
I don't know what to do.
So don't you go
Cause I've got no one but you.

So stay with me Evelyn.
Don't leave me with a medicine.
Don't leave me with a medicine.

I see the lights
Casting shadows on my screen.
And I don't mind
The lullabies from the machines.
But if you go
I don't know what I'll do.
So don't you go
Cause I've got no one but you.

So stay with me Evelyn.
Don't leave me with a medicine.
Don't leave me with a medicine.





I'm more afraid than I've ever been,
So stay with me Evelyn
