I Know You're Hurting.

LETRA

I Know You're Hurting.

I can see you're standing on the edge
Your legs upon the ledge of life's afflictions
I know you're a master of disguise, you are
Underneath that soft and gentle smile you put on this morning

You give when you have little left to give
You ballroom-dance with hollow "how are you"s (How are you? How are you?)
Your body aches from marching up your mountains
But you always keep pushing on
You always keep pushing on (You always keep pushing on)

I know life can be a bitch. Some call her "Monday"
And I'm thinking of you, dear, I hope you're OK
Maybe there's a hole you're hiding somewhere
And you hide it so well, you do, I must say

But I know you're hurting
And deep down there something's burning (And deep down there something's burning)
If you need two more arms to hold these burdens
I am here
I said a prayer for you, I hope it's working
Please, my dear, don't stop believing in miracles

You always find some kind words for a stranger
I wish that you could find some for yourself, ah
You claw yourself apart in private moments
And over bruises you put plasters on

Where life has dealt another losing hand
You bite your tongue and tense your thighs to stand
You know that you can't be so strong alone all the time
So please stop trying to be so strong all alone, all alone
You don't have to do this all alone
Even though I know

Oh, I, I know you're hurting
I know
That deep down there something's burning
I know
If you need two more arms to hold these burdens
I am here
I said a prayer for you, I hope it's working
Please, my dear, don't stop believing in miracles

I know it's hurting
It's just 6:30
I know it's hurting
Pray, "Lord, have mercy."
Mercy, mercy
I know He's working
Oh
I know He's working

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know it's hurting
It's just gone Thursday
Ain't this some damn feeling?
Ain't all of us just looking for some healing?

And while we wait for it
For the sweeter days to find us
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shake off the devils that's lurking
And close your eyes and let this music get to working

If you're listening to this, I need you to hear me now
Don't you give up on your life
Stay with me now

Oh, don't give up on your life

It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be OK

It's gonna be fine, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be OK, it's gonna be OK, it's gonna be OK
