Alec Benjamin - Cause It Hurts

[00:06.08] I had a friend I knew in the 9th grade and

[00:08.34] He didn't come to class one day cause

[00:11.11] They found something inside his brain so they sent him home

[00:15.83] So I went to see him after school I said

[00:19.09] Is there something that I can do that

[00:21.59] Might make feel more comfortable?

[00:23.58] And he told me no

[00:26.35] He said I'm happy that you made it

[00:29.09] Please, don't treat me like your patient

[00:31.82] I don't need more medication, mm

[00:37.10] The only way I know that I'm alive is cause it hurts

[00:42.32] So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse

[00:47.36] Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt

[00:52.60] The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is cause it hurts

[01:02.80] Is cause it hurts

[01:08.08] And I won't forget the things he said

[01:10.80] Everytime I started to feel depressed to be

[01:13.54] Greatful that I still have breath down inside my lungs

[01:18.06] Cause without the darkness there's no light

[01:21.31] And without the pain there be no life, so

[01:24.04] Even when it hurts inside I won't try to run

[01:28.56] I'll be happy that I made it

[01:31.58] I'll be open, I'll embrace it

[01:34.31] I won't take no medication, mm

[02:11.31] The only way I know that I'm alive is cause it hurts

[02:16.32] So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse

[02:21.56] Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt

[02:26.57] The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is cause it hurts

[02:47.32] Is cause it hurts
