Everybody Hurts Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't know, don't know if I can do this on my own
Why do you have to leave me?
It seems I'm losing something deep inside of me
Hold on, onto me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I see
Now, I see

[Chorus]
Everybody hurts some days
It's okay to be afraid
Everybody hurts, everybody screams
Everybody feels this way, and it's okay
La-di-da-di-da, it's okay

[Verse 2]
It feels like nothing really matters anymore
When you're gone, I can't breathe
And I know you never meant to make me feel this way
This can't be happening

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I see (Now, I see)
Now, I see (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Everybody hurts some days
It's okay to be afraid
Everybody hurts, everybody screams
Everybody feels this way, and it's okay
La-di-da-di-da, it's okay
La-la-la-la

[Bridge]
So many questions, so much on my mind
So many answers I can't find
I wish I could turn back the time
I wonder why
Everybody hurts some days (Some days)
Everybody hurts some days (Some days)

[Chorus]
Everybody hurts some days (Some days)
It's okay to be afraid (Afraid)
Everybody hurts, everybody screams
Everybody feels this way, and it's okay
La-di-da-di-da, it's okay
La-la-la-la, it's okay

[Outro]
Everybody hurts some days (La-di-da-di-da, some days)
It's okay to be afraid (I'm afraid)
Everybody hurts some days
(La-di-da-di-da, it's okay)
Yeah, we all feel pain (It's okay)
Everybody feels this way, but it'll be okay (Some days)
(La-di-da-di-da, it's okay)
Can't somebody take me away, to a better place?
(La-di-da-di-da, it's okay)
Everybody feels this way
Ah, ah, ah (It's okay)
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
La-di-da-di-da, it's okay
La-la-la-la, it's okay
La-di-da-di-da, it's okay
La-la-la-la, it's okay

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Avril Lavigne say about "Everybody Hurts"?
Genius Answer

‘Everybody Hurts’ is a song that I co-wrote with one of my best friends, Evan Taubenfeld. This song is a song that talks about how… ‘Yeah, okay, this is life.’ We’re all going to experience different levels of pain, some more than others. On a daily basis […] or weekly, or yearly, whatever. I know I’m super sensitive, I’m very emotional, my feelings get hurt easily. I hurt, and I hurt hard, and I love, and I love hard. And ‘Everybody Hurts’ is a song that talks about, ‘Yeah… This is life.’ It is an emotional rollercoaster ride. And my message is… ‘Yeah, this hurts, and we all hurt, and we’re going to experience that emotion and that pain and that feeling at some point in life’, and my message is that… Hold your head up high. Be strong, get through it, it’s going to be okay. It’s okay to be afraid."
