lyrics

I’ve got an aching in a part of me
But I can not find the words
No description or definition will
Give a meaning to the term
Disembodied emptiness
No part is missing from the whole
A stand alone without a set
A pair that’s planted all alone

Did you ever feel lonely with me?
Have you always been running from empty?
Just an extroverted hermit it seems
Open and shut-up, in solitary
Did you ever feel lonely with me?
Have you always been running from empty?
Have you ever brimmed over with plenty?
Deflect with a joke about Coke
When all I wanted was a Pepsi

It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse
It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse
When you’re missing her
Drinks turn to salt on your lips
An unquenchable thirst
It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse

In a constant state of chagrin
But I bear it
You crossed me out
Once I let you in
And I despair it
Need a prescription strength shame reliever
I’m embarrassed
Love sick but I’m breaking the fever
Say it’s better to have loved and lost
Wish I never had it

It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse
It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse
When you’re missing her
Drinks turn to salt on your lips
An unquenchable thirst
It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse

I’m a lot sadder than you think I am
But I don’t open up or confide in my friends
You’d think there’d be people who knew me by now
But I seem gregarious
I don’t let this mask slip

It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse
It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse
When you’re missing her
Drinks turn to salt on your lips
An unquenchable thirst
It’s gonna hurt
Feel like it’ll heal
And then it’s gonna get worse

It’s gonna hurt
Repeating history
It’s just life in reverse
It’s gonna hurt
Quote it all back to me
Both the chapter and verse
When you’re missing her
Get your thoughts off the past
Throw yourself in headfirst
It’s gonna hurt
It’s gonna heal
And then it’s gonna get worse
