Hurts
The Dunwells Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here you are on your knees,
Trying to offload you your grief,
You can't get out the words that you wanna say
Said it once said it twice, but you never take my advice
You falter and repeat never own your mistakes
Never own your mistakes
When you fade right there in front of me
It hurts sometimes
Yeah it hurts sometimes
When you fall apart it's killing me
It hurts sometimes
Yeah I know it hurts sometimes
It hurts!! It hurts!!
I show no remorse,
Hoping that you prove me wrong
There's still time to heal
There still time for what you deserve

There still time for what you deserve

When your standing there in front of me
It hurts sometimes
Yeah I know it hurts sometimes

When you fade right there in front of me tt hurts some times
But everything will be alright
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!

Don't ever think you can't come clean,
'cause one day I'll be the one in need when I'm hurt some time
We all hurt some times
When you fade right the in from me It hurts some times
Yeah it hurts sometimes
It hurts!
When you fall apart it's killing me
It hurts sometimes
But everything will be alright
It hurts! It hurts!
Yeah I know it hurts




Oh it hurts!
OoooohOooh...
