Even When It Hurts

(album: Friends Like These - 2023)

You've been sleeping in a different room
I don't feel like I've been talking to you
I wanna kiss you in the morning
Like the sunlight shatters over you
'Cause life can get complicated
When everybody's watching you
And I've been self medicating
Trying to find a way to talk to you

How we ever gonna make this work?
How we ever gonna keep this song alive?
If we don't fight
If we don't cry
And if we don't try

Even when it hurts, I want you
Nothing seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side

I wish I never saw you cry
But I never want to filter life
I'm gonna hold you in the morning
I'd do anything to dry those eyes
I don't want to be suffocated
By the pressures of a modern life
And as everything around us changes
There will always be you and I

'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothing seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
I wanna be right by your side

'Cause I've been going crazy
I've been going out of my mind
Giving it all of my time
Trying to live all of this life
All I wanna do is
Press your skin against mine
I wanna be right by your side
And I want you, right by mine

How we ever gonna make this work?
How we ever gonna keep this song alive?
If we don't fight
If we don't cry
And if we don't try

'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothing seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts
I want you right by my side
