Broke my shoe on a Friday night
Danced so hard I forgot the fright
Laughing while the blisters bleed
Funny how pain is what I need
Doctor said"slow down take a rest"
But the ache feels better than the blessed
I'm a symphony of snapped guitar strings
Playing loudest when the silence stings
Hurt —but I'm still on my feet
Hurt —and I'm dancing to the beat
Hurt —feels like a second skin
Hurt —let the sting begin
Scraped my knee on a memory
Fell right through the cracks of what could be
Picked the gravel out with a grin
Scars are just tattoos from within
Shattered glass in a disco ball
Every broken piece is having a ball
I'm a car crash wearing a party dress
Beautiful disaster more or less
Hurt —but I'm still on my feet
Hurt —and I'm dancing to the beat
Hurt —feels like a second skin
Hurt —let the sting begin
Bruises come in purple and blue
But they fade to yellow like the morning dew
Every throb is a tambourine
Shaking out the spaces in between
I don't want the medicine
I don't want the ice
Give me all the sharp edges
I'll roll them into rice
Hurt —I'm still counting the cost
Hurt —but nothing's ever lost
Hurt —turn the volume to ten
Hurt —and dance it all again
(spoken over fading bass)
Hurt huh feels good actually
