How It Hurts” [Verse 1] I found you sunlight at midnight’s hour, Discovered the number that comes after forever. I placed the Big Dipper in your crown, But you stayed there, as if nothing was better. I sweetened the ocean to quench your thirst, Rented you a room on the waning moon. And like a good loser, I searched the bed For the things love just couldn’t tune. [Pre-Chorus] And how it burns, you’re so far away, Lying next to me, but lost in space. How it stings, this endless divide, Even though I hear you breathe, You’re miles and miles from my side. [Chorus] And it hurts to love you this much, Pretending everything’s fine, staying in touch. While it bleeds to waste our lives, Chasing what we lost somewhere in time. [Verse 2] I tore up gardens to give you the flowers, Invented alchemy to battle delusions. And in my confusion, I mistook tenderness, For the pity in your occasional glances. How sad it is to accept this pain, Pathetic to believe a lie so plain, Could summon the elves of some forgotten magic, To make you wake up in love, like it’s automatic. [Pre-Chorus] And how it burns, you’re so far away, Lying next to me, but lost in space. How it stings, this endless divide, Even though I hear you breathe, You’re miles and miles from my side. [Chorus] And it hurts to love you this much, Pretending everything’s fine, staying in touch. While it bleeds to waste our lives, Chasing what we lost somewhere in time. [Bridge] Why does this distance slice so deep, Faking perfection while we barely sleep? You feel the weight of life slip by, While we lie here side by side. How can we share this same bed, When you’re so far, when we’re so misled? [Chorus] And it hurts to love you this much, Pretending everything’s fine, staying in touch. While it bleeds to waste our lives, Chasing what we lost somewhere in time.
