[Verse 1]
Know you've been sleepin' in a different room
I don't feel like I've been talkin' to you
I wanna kiss you in the morning
Like the sunlight shatters over you
'Cause life can get complicated
When everybody's watchin' you
And I've been self-medicating
Tryna find a way to talk to you
[Refrain]
How we ever gonna make this work?
How we ever gonna keep this song alive?
If we don't fight, if we don't cry, and if we don't try
[Chorus]
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
[Verse 2]
I wish I never saw you cry
But I never want to filter life
I'm gonna hold you in the mornin'
I'd do anything to dry those eyes
I don't want to be suffocated
By the pressures of a modern life
And as everythin' around us changes
There will always be you and I
[Chorus]
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts, I wanna be right by your side
[Bridge]
'Cause I've been goin' crazy
I've been goin' out of my mind
Givin' it all of my time
Tryna live all this life
And all I wanna do
Is press your skin against mine
I wanna be right by your side
And I want you right by mine
[Refrain]
So how we ever gonna make this work?
How we ever gonna keep this song alive?
If we don't fight, if we don't cry, and if we don't try
[Chorus]
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts, I want you
Nothin' seems to work, I need you
Days and nights are blurred
I wanna be right by your side
'Cause even when it hurts
Even when it hurts
Even when it hurts, I wanna be right by your side
[Outro]
'Cause even when it hurts, I wanna be right by your side

Two friends, James [Kenosha] and Jack [Gourlay], helped pulled me from the darkness. They packed me off into their studio in Leeds, and had me there for two weeks writing songs. That really saved me. We all go through moments in our relationships with people that we love, we may argue, or we fall ou...
