Everybody hurts sometimes

EVERYBODY HURTS
Peter Lawrence Buck, Michael E. Mills, William Thomas Berry, & John Michael Stipe

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life
Well, hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong

When your day is night alone
And if you feel like letting go
When you think you had too much of this life
Well, hang on

'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh no, babe
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
Oh no, you're not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you had too much of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts
I said everybody cries sometimes

You got to hold on, hold on
'Cause everybody hurts sometimes, you know
Won't you hold on, hold on
You know, sometimes everything is wrong
Sometimes you got to hold on

(My thanks to Joe Cocker and the songwriters.)
