Only Hurts When It's Raining

lyrics

Lately I’ve been feeling strangely
From the moment I wake up
I’m either feeling nothing
Or everything all at once
Could be the way the world keeps breaking
Or the rain that won’t let up
It’s like I’m already mourning
A thing that hasn’t yet been lost

And I should cry but I don’t
I wanna hide, but I won’t
Try to keep my mind open
No matter where I’m going

I find, it only hurts when it’s raining
I find, it only hurts when it’s raining

I was told I should believe in
Things I could not see
But when I came with my questions
Swept so quickly underneath
Tired of unholy sanctuaries
I wandered to the trees
Where I felt the kind of beauty
That always came for free

Now I don’t need heavenly treasure
There must be, some other measure
A deeper meaning for the pleasure
A higher love above the weather

To say why, it only hurts when it’s raining
Say why, it only hurts when it’s raining

I don’t need more information
Only noise on every station
Got no room for contemplation
Just the bitter taste of my raging
I’ve heard the bell ring from the tower
Seen the writing on the walls
Their meaning lost in the confusion
Like graffiti in the stalls

Maybe I’m tired of having patience
Learning to live, with the strangeness
Losing faith, but I’m praying
I may not bleed but I’m breaking

Most times, it only hurts when it’s raining
Most of the time, it only hurts when it’s raining

A little laughter in the air now
A little wine in my cup
Is it enough to feel the world turn
Watch the stars burning up

I don’t need, a new religion
A few good friends, in my kitchen
Someone who says, when I should listen
Helps me see what I’m missing

I find, it only hurts when it’s raining
Say why it only hurts when it’s raining
No I don’t know why
It only hurts when it’s raining
Still I don’t know why
It only hurts when it’s raining
