Things That Hurt

(альбом: Bar Stool Preacher - 2022)

Why do we turn up a sad song that makes us cry?
Why do we keep those polaroid memories close by?
Why can't we sit the whiskey down when we know we should?
Why is it that the pain feels so damn good?

It's 'cause a heartbroke junkie can't get enough
We run back in the house when it's burning up
It's a temporary fix, it's a love hate thing
'Cause the things that hurt take the hurt away

Why do we remember that number by heart
And read old love letters till they fall apart?
And take the long way home night after night
Why can't some people get past goodbye?

It's 'cause a heartbroke junkie can't get enough
We run back in the house when it's burning up
It's a temporary fix, it's a love hate thing
'Cause the things that hurt take the hurt away

Do we do it just to know that we can still feel?
Do we do it just to know that the hurt's still real?

It's 'cause a heartbroke junkie can't get enough
We run back in the house when it's burning up
It's a temporary fix, it's a love hate thing
'Cause the things that hurt take the hurt away
Yeah, the things that hurt take the hurt away
