Píseň: Everybody Hurts

Interpret:
R.E.M.
Album:
Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011
When the 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.
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone,
(hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go,
(hold on)
When you think you've 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.
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone,
no, no, no,
you are not alone


If you're on your own 
in this life,
the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much
of this life
to hang on


Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries.
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone.
