Be it near or be it farther
Every beat was gettinʼ stronger without you
Be a loser or a cheat
Commemorate the flaws, repeat them at your peril
And, ooh, it hurts too long
And, ooh, the Earth may never notice
And why should she

Does it hurt you like it hurts me?
Open water dusk to dawn
If it kills us, then so be it
I wonʼt be hanginʼ on, and I
Can always say I tried

Be you daughters, be you songs
Weʼll give you all of what we are for good or worse
Be it godly referendum or a weakly uttered whisper
We will pick up our pieces, we will finish what we can

And, ooh, it hurts too long
And, ooh, the earth may never notice
And why should she

Does it hurt you like it hurts me?
Open water dusk to dawn
If it kills us, then so be it
I wonʼt be hanginʼ on, and I
Can always say I tried
Tell the angels mind their business
They arenʼt reaping what Iʼve sewn
Beat me down destroy my army
Break me up then make me whole

Tell the angels mind their business
They arenʼt reaping what Iʼve sewn
Beat me down destroy my army
Break me up then make me whole

Does it hurt you like it hurts me?
Does it hurt you?
