Stand tall, hold your head high
And never let 'em see you cry
Just smile through the pain and play pretend (play pretend)
And if you got feelings, hide 'em inside
Just keep 'em locked up real tight instead
Until the bitter end

And I've been told sometimes I can
Come across disconnected
But it's just the way I am
Calm, cool, and collected
But on the inside like you
I get fucked up and afflicted

Now and then (now and then)
Can you understand?
Now you won't know
'Cause I don't really show where it hurts sometimes
Yeah, it really hurt sometimes

No, I'm not made of stone
When I told you no
And man I really am breaking down inside
Could you see it in my eyes?

But doesn't everybody hurt sometimes?
But doesn't everybody hurt sometimes?
But doesn't everybody hurt sometimes?

Blank stares, silent replies
You'll never know what's behind these eyes
These windows to my soul
'Cause what if you don't like what you see? (See)
Would you run away from me? (From me)
Well I hope to never know (hope to never know)

And I've been told sometimes I can
Come across disconnected
But it's just the way I am
Calm, cool, and collected
But on the inside like you
I get fucked up and afflicted

Now and then (now and then)
Can you understand?
Now you won't know
'Cause I don't really show where it hurts sometimes
Yeah, it really hurt sometimes

No, I'm not made of stone
When I told you no
And man I really am breaking down inside
Could you see it in my eyes?

But doesn't everybody hurt sometimes?
But doesn't everybody hurt sometimes?
But doesn't everybody hurt sometimes?
But doesn't everybody hurt sometimes?
