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, 'cos everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong, when your day is night alone
And if you feel like letting go
When you think, you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cos everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts, don't throw your hand, oh no baby
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, oh 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

Everybody hurts, sometimes everybody cries
Everybody hurts, sometimes everybody hurts
I said, "Everybody cries"
Sometimes, you got to hold on
Hold on, 'cos everybody hurts, sometimes you know

Don't you hold on
Hold on
You know
Sometimes everything is wrong
Sometimes, you got to hold on
