[Verse 1]
I still can't find the right words
The only thing that I've learned
It's only real when it hurts
It's only real when it hurts

[Build]
...It hurts
...It hurts

[Drop]
...It hurts!
...It hurts!

[Verse 2]
I still can't find the right words
The only thing that I've learned
It's only real when it hurts
It's only real when it hurts (Yeah)

[Chorus: San Holo, Thorwald van den Akker, The Nicholas]
I still can't find the right words
The only thing that I've learned (Yo, yo, yo)
It's only real when it hurts
It's only real when it hurts
[Build: San Holo, Thorwald van den Akker, The Nicholas]
It hurts
It hurts

[Drop: San Holo, Thorwald van den Akker, The Nicholas]
...It hurts!
...It hurts!
