Even When It Hurts

Time to face the road
 You've got somewhere to go
 There's no turning back
 Tonight
 You're troubled by your shame
 And here you must remain
 And take it as you should
 Even when it hurts
 You live your life on rent
 Touching with kid gloves
 But you need to hit a nerve
 Even when it hurts
 Take another bite
 From the masochistic rind
 Erudite sunrise
 Its alright
 No one is an island
 So reach out for someone else
 And swallow up your pride
 Inside
 I know you tried for real
 But you need some time to heal
 In exasperated spurts -
 Even when it hurts -
 And your standing by your former self
 And your standing by your former self
 Just a shadow of what could've been
 And you cannot recognize
 You wonder if you crawl
 Could you make it past the wall
 Can't you hear The Spirit call?
 'come unto me'
 And everybody doubted
 Everything about you
 But you changed into something
 New
 You changed into something
 New
 Even when it hurt
 Even when it hurt
 Even when it hurt
