Sometimes it hurts so much,
The words people say,
They cut like a knife,
Deep wounds to display.

Sometimes it hurts so much,
The loss of a loved one dear,
It takes the will to live,
When they are no longer here.

Sometimes it hurts so much,
Loneliness just sweeps you away,
You wish for someone to love,
Who will be there for you each day.

Sometimes it hurts so much,
Striving to survive in life,
You work and still fall short,
Adding to your daily strife.

Sometimes it hurts so much,
To face a new formed day,
Some wonder how to end it all,
Determined they find a way.
