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
Everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh, no. Don't throw your hand

If 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
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on
[Repeat & fade]
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone)
