Healing
Loren and Mark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Bed of lies
Wash the sheet with the wet of my tears
Even though I still wish you were here
'Cause nobody else can touch it like you can

Out my phone
But you're inside of this heart you broke
And I left, left for reasons you know
'Cause nobody else can hurt me like you can

Ain't sleeping by myself these nights
The empty space fills up my mind
I need somebody here to tell me
How I should deal with leaving you behind
I gotta trust the process, I (I)
I gotta let the hours go by (by)
Oh, every single minute kills me
I know I'm healing
But healing hurts right now, right now

Right now, now, now (oh, right now)
Right now, now, now (oh, right now)
Right now, now, now (right now)
Right now, now, now

Bitter pill
Pour a drink just to swallow it down
Smoke a blunt, but I can't forget how
How nobody else can fuck me like you can (you can)

Been sleeping by myself these nights (these nights)
The empty space fills up my mind (my mind)
I need somebody here to tell me
How I should deal with leaving you behind
I gotta trust the process, I (I)
I gotta let the hours go by (by)
Oh, every single minute kills me
I know I'm healing
But healing hurts right now, right now

Right now, now, now (right now)
Right now, now, now (right now, right now)




Right now, now, now (right now)
Right now, now, now (right now, now, now)
