[Verse 1]
Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, the undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside, it's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, the undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside, it's just a matter of how much you let it slide

[Pre-Chorus]
Help me help you, they won't be there
Help me help you, they won't see

[Chorus]
And it hurts when you need me and I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see, and it hurts

[Verse 2]
Drop the switch, scratch the itch, watch it grow
Inch by inch, the cutting board, watch it swing to and fro
Everyone carries one deep inside, it's just a matter of how much you let it slide
Wash it off, take the loss, let it go
Take it in, drink it up, we can just take it slow
Everyone carries one deep inside, it's just a matter of how much you let it slide

[Pre-Chorus]
Help me help you, they won't be there
Help me help you, they won't see
[Chorus]
And it hurts when you need me and I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see, and it hurts
And it hurts when you need me and I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see, and it hurts

[Bridge]
And it hurts when you're lonely and I'm standing right beside you there
And it hurt when you told me that you'll try this on your own
Hope you never hurt, hope you never cry, hope you never lose your way tonight
Hope you never crumble, hope you never fall, hope you never throw away the-
Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, watch it swing

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, and it hurts when you need me and I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see, and it hurts
Yeah, and it hurts when you need me and I can't break your fall
It hurts when you can't see, and it hurts, yeah, yeah
And it hurts, and it hurts
And it hurts, and it hurts
And it hurts, and it hurts
And it hurts, and it hurts
