[Verse 1]
Know you've been sleepin' in a different room
I don't feel like I've been talkin' to you
I wanna kiss you in the morning
Like the sunlight shatters over you
'Cause life can get complicated
When everybody's watchin' you
And I've been self-medicating
Tryna find a way to talk to you

[Refrain]
How we ever gonna make this work?
How we ever gonna keep this song alive?
If we don't fight, if we don't cry, and if we don't try

[Chorus]
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side

[Verse 2]
I wish I never saw you cry
But I never want to filter life
I'm gonna hold you in the mornin'
I'd do anything to dry those eyes
I don't want to be suffocated
By the pressures of a modern life
And as everythin' around us changes
There will always be you and I
[Chorus]
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts, I wanna be right by your side

[Bridge]
'Cause I've been goin' crazy
I've been goin' out of my mind
Givin' it all of my time
Tryna live all this life
And all I wanna do
Is press your skin against mine
I wanna be right by your side
And I want you right by mine

[Refrain]
So how we ever gonna make this work?
How we ever gonna keep this song alive?
If we don't fight, if we don't cry, and if we don't try

[Chorus]
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts, I wanna be right by your side
[Outro]
'Cause even when it hurts, I wanna be right by your side
