Even When It Hurts - Kevin Max

Time to face the road

You’ve got somewhere to go

There’s no turning back

Tonight

You’re troubled by your shame

And here you must remain

And take it as you should

Even when it hurts

You live your life on rent

Touching with kid gloves

But you need to hit a nerve

Even when it hurts

Take another bite

From the masochistic rind

Erudite sunrise

Its alright

No one is an island

So reach out for someone else

And swallow up your pride

Inside

I know you tried for real

But you need some time to heal

In exasperated spurts —

Even when it hurts —

And your standing by your former self

And your standing by your former self

Just a shadow of what could’ve been

And you cannot recognize

You wonder if you crawl

Could you make it past the wall

Can’t you hear The Spirit call?

'come unto me'

And everybody doubted

Everything about you

But you changed into something

New

You changed into something

New

Even when it hurt

Even when it hurt

Even when it hurt
