  • Daniel puts the kids to bed
    They're screaming, "Oh, the gods must be crazy"
    Well, Jimmy's on the road tonight
    She doesn't recognize her country
    My father's in the room next door
    Crying with his ma at sixty-five
    Well, every time I close my eyes
    I just see you written in big lights

    You know what it says?

    Stop making this hurt
    Stop trying on this hurt
    Just say goodbye like you mean it
    Stop trying on this hurt
    Just say goodbye like you mean it
    Say goodbye like you mean it
    Just say goodbye like you mean it

    Mama's in the house tonight
    Tryna break free of New Jersey
    While the kids are on the street
    And they're crying, "Let me live in my country"
    We got the dream and a car, we're like free as the night
    So how come every time I take a drive
    I just see it written on street signs?

    And you know what it says?

    Stop making this hurt
    And say goodbye like you mean it
    Stop trying on this hurt
    Just say goodbye like you mean it
    (Just say goodbye like you mean it)
    Just say goodbye like you mean it

    But if we take the sadness out of Saturday night
    I wonder what we'll be left with, anything worth the fight?
    I wanna run from the darkness, wanna shout at the light
    It's coming over me now
    Two, three, four, five
    Oh God, we barely survived

    Stop making this hurt
    Stop making this hurt
    (Stop making this hurt, stop)
    (Will you stop making this hurt?)
    (Stop making this hurt, stop)
    Stop making this hurt
    (Stop making this hurt, stop)
    (Stop, stop making this hurt) Stop making this hurt
    (Stop making this hurt, stop)
    (Stop, stop making this hurt) Stop making this hurt

    Stop making this hurt
    Stop making this hurt (hurt, hurt, hurt)
    Stop making this hurt (hurt, hurt, hurt)
    Stop making this hurt (hurt, hurt, hurt)
