Lyrics : Cause it Hurts

I had a friend I knew in the ninth grade
And he didn't come to class one day
'Cause they find something inside his brain so they sent him home
So I went to see him after school
I said "Is there something I can do that
Might make you feel more comfortable?"
And he told me "No"

He said "I'm happy that you made it, please don't treat me like your patient
I don't need more medication," mmm

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
Is 'cause it hurts

And I won't forget the things he said
Every time I start to feel depressed
To be grateful that I still have breath down inside my lungs
'Cause without the darkness there's no light
And without the pain there'd be no life so
Even when it hurts inside I won't try to run

I'll be happy that I made it, I'll be open, I'll embrace it
I won't take no medication, mmm

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
Is 'cause it hurts
The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt, mmm
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

Dam-da-da-dam-da-da-dam-da-da-da
Is 'cause it hurts (Mmm)
Dam-da-da-dam-da-da-dam-da-da-da
Is 'cause it hurts
Dam-da-da-dam-da-da-dam-da-da-da
Is 'cause it hurts
Dam-da-da-dam-da-da-dam-da-da-da
Is 'cause it hurts
