lyrics

If You Don’t Hurt Sometimes

There are times when I walk, I feel a pain in my knee
From those home plate dislocations
My shoulder aches when my bed is hard
From broken bones and a separation
My back hurts when I sit too long
From moving rocks, looking for treasure
But I wouldn’t trade the years I’ve had
A little pain, was worth the pleasure

If you don’t hurt sometimes, you have never lived
What it takes to be here you can’t easily give
You wear those scars and pay a price with pain
If you don’t hurt sometimes… you have never lived

You can love someone ‘til you feel it slip away
‘Til all that’s left are pictures of what used to be
You can hope our friends and family will always stay
But you learn before too long, grief won’t run away (chorus)

Could sit at home and watch TV
Live in fear worrying about what might be
Could never take those chances that make you feel free
Might be the safest choice, but it wouldn’t be me (chorus)
