To everything there is a purpose
To every blade of grass
And every leaf on every tree
Every livin' thing will surely come to pass
And what will be, will be
That's when the hurtin' time begins
And all the things you never said
Or didn't have the strength to say (Things you never said)
And everything you ever did (Everything you ever did)
That time won't ever wash away
Fears that you've been livin' with
Have gone and left their trace
Tears that you've been livin' with
Come runnin' down your face
Runnin' down your face
That's when the hurtin' time begins
So tell me what the day brings, has it lost its thrill?
Are you still searching, hoping for that space to fill?
Everything you turn to is like a mirror on the shelf
And the only one you're blaming is yourself
Don't give me no more of that hurtin' stuff
Haven't I already paid enough?
A million little deaths you've died
The times that you've been crucified
The more you've loved and lost and tried (The more you've lost and tried)
And still could not be satisfied
When will you be satisfied? (×2)
Not till, not till, not till, not till the hurtin' time begins
Tell it like it is, yes
Not till the hurtin' time begins
Hurtin' time, hurtin' time begins now (×4)
Hurtin' time
Tell it like it is (×9)
