Intro: x2
Verse:
When your 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
Cause 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)
If you think you've had too much of this life
Well hang on
Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Whoa now    don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
no no no you're 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
Bridge:
But everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on hold on
Everybody hurts
You are not alone
Bridge:
