When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go, everybody cries
and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong, now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
e -------------

Everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts,

Don't throw your hand, oh no, don't throw your hand
when you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much, of this life, to hang on
e -------------

Well everybody hurts, sometimes
Everybody cries, everybody hurts, sometimes

But everybody hurts sometimes so hold on, hold on, hold on,
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Everybody hurts
You are not alone
