Everybody hurts Everybody bleeds Everybody bends to fill a need Everybody's born with their own curse And I'm not alone Everybody cries Everybody breathes Everybody wants to feel they're free Deep inside I know what I am worth A life of my own It could have been much worse But it should have been better I know I'd hurt you, deserted you And now I see it clear I pulled you closer, tighter 'Cause I knew you'd disappear I just can't compromise, apologize There's nothing you can say We both knew It would always end this way Everybody pains Everybody grieves Everybody's making off like thieves Every soul's aching for release You're not alone Everybody lives Everybody leaves Everybody begs best on their knees Everybody's got the same disease No one's alone It could have been much worse But it should have been better I know I'd hurt you, deserted you And now I see it clear I pulled you closer, tighter 'Cause I knew you'd disappear I just can't compromise, apologize There's nothing you can say We both knew It would always end this way Knew it'd end this way We knew it'd end this way I know I'd hurt you, deserted you And now I see it clear I pulled you closer, tighter 'Cause I knew you'd disappear I just can't compromise, apologize There's nothing you can say We both knew It would always end this way We both know It'd always end this way We both knew It would always end this way
