Hurting Years Songtext
von Chasing Ghosts

Some of us couldn′t make it
Through the endless fear
This is for the ones we wish were here
Some of us couldn't make it

You can no longer fake it through the last few years
We were grieving with a shot, dropped in a pint of brown beer
We listened, we cried, people tried to keep them alive
We were burnin′, we were drenched, we were stuck inside

And the flood water is startin' to rise
When it's not too dry

Some of us couldn′t make it
Through the endless fear
This is for the ones we wish were here

A shoutout to the ones who made it
Through the Hurting Years
Sing for the ones we still hold dear
And I applaud you


There′s a grimace on a city with a mouthful of broken tombstones
Empty apartments, and shopfronts signed closed
On a ridge line, trees like burnt matches parade and silhouette
No feed, no wildlife, there's nothing left

And the flood water is startin′ to rise
When it's not too dry

Some of us couldn′t make it
Through the endless fear
This is for the ones we wish were here
Some of us couldn't make it

A shoutout to the ones who made it
Through the Hurting Years
Sing for the ones we still hold dear

So I implore you
To tell your friends that you love them
I implore you
To tell your friends that you care
I implore you
To tell your friends that you love them
And don′t believe everything you hear

Some of us couldn't make it
Through the endless fear
This is for the ones we wish were here


Some of us couldn't make it
Some of us couldn′t make it
Some of us couldn′t make it
And I applaud you

Some of us couldn't make it (Through the endless fear)
Some of us couldn′t make it (Through the Hurting Years)
Sometimes it's nice to pretend you′re still here
