EVERYBODY HURTS SOMETIMES

Everybody hurts, everybody cries sometimes,

Everybody wants to be needed, can you even understand.

I am crying from within my soul, take a look within my eyes,

I want you to hear my words, does anybody care what happens to me now.

Everybody loves at one time, tears as if one day it drifts away, Do you cry,

Is it possible to love just one more time, time slips away into an olden age.
Everybody hurts sometimes, are we gathered here for one last time,

Does it hurt when life is so unkind, there are ghosts that linger within my mind.

Everybody hurts, are we all alone within our thoughts when the lights go out,

Shed a tear for the world tonight, everybody hurts, is everything alright, tonight.
