I Know You're Hurting.

I can see you're standing on the edge

Your legs upon the ledge of life's afflictions

I know you're a master of disguise, you are

Underneath that soft and gentle smile you put on this morning

You give when you have little left to give

You ballroom dance with hollow "how are you"s (How are you, how are you?)

Your body aches from marching up your mountains

But you always keep pushing on

You always keep pushing on (You always keep pushing on)

I know life can be a bitch, some call her "Monday"

And I'm thinking of you, dear, I hope you're okay

Maybe there's a hole you're hiding somewhere

And you hide it so well, you do, I must say

But I know you're hurting

And deep down there something's burning (And deep down there something's burning)

If you need two more arms to hold these burdens, I am here

I said a prayer for you, I hope it's working

Please, my dear, don't stop believing in miracles

You always find some kind words for a stranger

I wish that you could find some for yourself, ah

You claw yourself apart in private moments

And over bruises you put plasters on

Where life has dealt another losing hand

You bite your tongue and tense your thighs to stand

You know that you can't be so strong alone

All the time so please stop trying to be so strong all alone, all alone

You don't have to do this all alone

Even though I know

Oh, I, I know you're hurting, I know

That deep down there something's burning, I know

If you need two more arms to hold these burdens, I am here

I said a prayer for you, I hope it's working

Please, my dear, don't stop believing in miracles

I know it's hurting

It's just 6:30

I know it's hurting

Pray Lord, have mercy

I know He's working

Oh (I know He's working)

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know it's hurting

It's just gone Thursday

Ain't this some damn feeling?

Ain't all of us just looking for some healing?

And while we wait for it

For the sweeter days to find us

Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shake off the devils that's lurking

And close your eyes and let this music get to working

If you're listening to this, I need you to hear me now

Don't you give up on your life

Stay with me now

Oh, don't give up on your life

It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay

It's gonna be fine, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay

It's gonna be okay
