I had a friend I knew in the 9th grade and
He didn't come to class one day 'cause
They found something inside his brain so they sent him home

So, I went to see him after school
I said, "Is there something I can do that
Might make you feel more comfortable?" and he told me "No"

He said, "I'm happy that you made it
Please don't treat me like your patient
I don't need more medication" (Mmm)

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
Is 'cause it hurts

And I won't forget the things he said
Everytime I start to feel depressed to
Be grateful that I still have breath down inside my lungs

'Cause without the dark there's no light and
Without the pain there'd be no life so
Even when it hurts inside, I won't try to run

I'll be happy that I made it
I'll be open, I'll embrace it
I won't take no medication (Mmm)

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
Is 'cause it hurts

The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt (Mmm)
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts

Dum da da
Dum da da
Dum da da da
Is 'cause it hurts (Hmm-mmm)

Dum da da
Dum da da
Dum da da da
Is 'cause it hurts

Dum da da
Dum da da
Dum da da da
Is 'cause it hurts
