Hurts So Good

(album: Dog Years - 2021)

Lying awake, you cut me so deep
I woke with my face on the floorboards
Feels like I'm shedding my winter skin
They call me a fake, call me a freak
I'm coming up blank on the scoreboard
You really know how to break me in

Around and round and round we go
The scars are on my chin

Come pick me up and take me out
You get me high when I've been down
Straight through the windshield, off the hood
But it hurts so good
Take all my things and fuck my friends
Then I hope you do it all again
And leave me for dead just like you should
Oh, but it hurts so good

Everything aches, everything's burns
The city's so calm in the morning
You play my heart like it's just a drum
Feeling regret, feeling so dumb
I saw the signs, got the warning
But call out my name and just watch me run

And every time around and round and round we go
I'm tired and I'm numb

Come pick me up and take me out
You get me high when I've been down
Straight through the windshield, off the hood
But it hurts so good
And take all my things and fuck my friends
And I hope you do it all again
And leave me for dead just like you should
But it hurts so good

And I'd try quit you if I could
But it hurts so good

... we'll see the world for what it truly is
And we'll slip into this happy state of nirvana
Which has been defined as
"Having just enough life to enjoy being dead"

Come pick me up and take me out
You get me high when I've been down
Straight through the windshield, off the hood
But it hurts so good
And take all my things and fuck my friends
And I hope you do it all again
And leave me for dead just like you should
But it hurts so good, yeah

Hurts so good, it's good
And it's good, yeah
I'd try to quit you if I could
But it hurts so good
