Well Lyrics by Hurt

Goodbye to the Machine

2009

[Verse 1]
I wasn't able to deal with the pain and the loss
And the darkness would surround me
What could've been? What should've been?
Pain

And with the state of affairs and the way that I was
I took a pistol from the closet
I loaded a round, opened my mouth
Closed my eyes, said goodbye, and "click"

[Pre-Chorus]
I would find another way

[Verse 2]
Now I was able to tell it was stupid as hell
And the guilt was overwhelming
Oh, how could I do something to you
Like that which had been done to me?

I'm guessing either I'm dead or I'm lucky instead
And the shame of this will haunt me
Then strange voices start to make noises
Out of some void, then I made my choice to...

[Pre-Chorus]
...Find another way
Yes, I would find another way, yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause I can barely eat
And I can barely sleep
And I can barely think of anything but
Well, well
Yeah, I can barely eat
And I can barely sleep
And I can barely think of anything but
Well, well, well

[Verse 3]
Because the weight of the world was amusing to some
We would sign a record contract
And then you heard of me, said kind words to me
And brought supplies when I was sick

Now I'm dirty, in doubt, and I'm empty as hell
I knew better from the onset
Of a party in a limousine with faces from a magazine
A stripper sitting next to me just begging me to let her go and...

[Pre-Chorus]
...Find another way
Won't you find another way? Yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause I can never eat
And I can never sleep
And I can never think of anything but
Well, well
Yeah, I can never eat
And I can barely breathe
And I can barely speak on anything but
Well, well, well, well

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
'Cause no one ever really could love me
No one ever should
Yeah, no one ever really should love me
No one ever would
No one ever really could love me
No one ever would
Yeah, no one ever really should love me
No one ever would
