Default - It Only Hurts Lyrics






Can hold my breath, only for a little while
'Til reality starts sinking in
Once again, I'm settling for second best
Turn the page and skip to the end
To where I swore that I would try
Since the last time I crossed that line
In the back of my mind, I know

It only hurts when your eyes are open
Lies get tossed and truth is spoken
It only hurts when that door is open
Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

Miles away, promise from a burning bed
Two worlds should never collide
One word would end it if you ever heard
Tear the page out that reminds me
When I swore that I'd be strong
Now, the next time has come and gone
Well, maybe I'm wrong, I know

It only hurts when your eyes are open
Lies get tossed and truth is spoken
It only hurts when that door is open
Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

I know what you're feeling
It's hard to believe in someone
Someone who's not there
I know that you're waiting
'Cause love is worth saving
But only for so long, so long, so long

I swore that I would try
Since the last time
The last time

It only hurts when your eyes are open
Lies get tossed and truth is spoken
It only hurts when that door is open
Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

It only hurts when your eyes are open
Lies get tossed and truth is spoken
It only hurts when that door is open
Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

  1. P.... ....

    I found this song in a wwe hbk tribute

  2. T.... S....

    This song is a lot to soak up, but I still don’t understand what’s going on. Is this “Lips of an Angel”? A song about him trying to make his relationship work but sleeping with someone else?
    A song of understanding how the person who is yelling at you feels because you were in their place (but now you’re a hypocrite?)?
    Love this song, just so damn ambiguous

  33. R.... ....

    Man the 00's had the best music. Linkin Park, Daughtry, Default, Foo Fighters, Breaking Benjamin, Incubus. I could literally go on forever. Its sad that this music is dying out. I loved turning on the radio and hearing an actual good song. Nowadays there is only 1 or 2 stations that have good music and it barely plays.

    R.... ....

    @EgotisticalGecko Gaming u r dumb

    R.... ....

    @MCRSkilletREDLPSP no u

    R.... ....

    Out of all the band's in the 2000s you mention daughtry and default. Ha

    R.... ....

    The 90s had the best music...

    Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Creed, Sound Garden, For Love Not Lisa... I could go on and on.

    R.... ....

    I used to listen to all of this when I was younger, it was some of the best music, it's too bad so many people stopped listening to stuff that actually has a meaning

  34. C.... C....

    Amazing

  35. R.... M....

    Default is pure passion!

  36. b.... ....

    R.... H....

    Agreed, it's superb, but not the 90's man...

  41. G.... ....

    I remember listening to this song in 2009 and looking back that doesn't seem so long ago but damn that was 7 years ago. like time flew by and it's amazing just how easily you can miss it

    G.... ....

    10 years now. It’s just makes me feel sad, at the same time missed. The Gold Old Days. I wanna Go back to the times. ☹️

  48. J.... S....

    increíble canción!

  49. T.... G....

    I had a dream I was on a date with my girlfriend on a dock, and I went to take a picture of the landscape because it was beautiful but when I turned around she fell into the lake, so I dove in after her but she sank like a rock and I couldn't get to her it was like that for a few for moments then I guess she realized she and I where going to die and she started to scream the bubbles floated up to my face and her arm reached out to me as she mouthed the words "I love you" then she started convulsing struggling for air as she slipped away and got further and further away and she was gone...then...I started to run out of air and just stated to black out and I slipped away I woke up shortly after gasping for air then looked around I then texted my girlfriend as soon as it happened then turned on the radio and this song poped up...almost felt like the world was messing with my head and my heart :/

    T.... G....

    I had a dream like that recently. I think the reason I hate dreams is because I feel helpless and it kinda ruins my day.

  50. J.... P....

    1:52 gets me every damn time

    J.... P....

    kimgotscared rawr xD

  51. W.... T....

    Awesome :')

  52. R.... ....

    I like this song😀

  53. D.... ....

    Dont bother replying": This song always seems to catch me at a weak moment. But then again it reminds me that when I go to sleep at night, I should let it slide. People do what they do for various reasons, Who are we to judge? I cannot live someone else's life for them or make the right choices for them. I can stay 30 feet away and watch things unravel from a distance, things I have seen all along. Things Ive known all along. People say that you do not know what is best for someone else. Sometimes, though, it sure feels like it. Only to be painfully reminded that youre not one to advise that person, simply because that person either doesnt listen, or youre not close enough to that person. However it does hurt to see someone getting hurt time and time again.

    D.... ....

    I know it's 4 years old but I just found it and it's way too relatable.

  54. Z.... ....

    "miles away, promise from a burning bed." Love that line.

  55. A.... D....

    Needs more views. :)

  56. P.... O....

    This song is amazing, I only discovered it recently. Wow

  57. U.... ....

    Can't like this song enough. 

  58. L.... ....

    I know that your waiting 'cause love is worth saving but only for so long, so long, so long...

  59. r.... ....

    This song make me cry :')

  60. S.... D....

    This song kills me yet comforts me atthe same time.

    S.... D....

    Sora Dragonhart yea...same...

  61. S.... A....

    Fukin beautiful

  62. M.... ....

    they are amazing right

  63. w.... ....

    I love this song so much like asdgdklfs<33 ;u;

  64. c.... ....

    When I listen to this song it just brings me to tears everytime because it reminds me of my pain in the past

  65. S.... ....

    but then i'll need 102 since ur asking for 101!

  66. �.... E....

    It's like my words when I try to make it better and it fails, I am sure that this song -is- about distance relationships.. I always thought that distance relationships will be the hardest to break down when the two person meets after all the patience they had. Kept believing this thought and I still do. Though it's just reminds my own words, this song is just describing how I felt and feeling for a guy that I've been with for long time.. It's just that people think it hurts less if it's -online-

  67. R.... F....

    put yourself in his shoes, if you were him, you would have seen how much you loved him, but your not him. To get someone to notice you, you need to figure out what they like, if you not what he likes, it would only ruin your relationship. Im not saying its a bad idea to fall in love. Just be carefull. try to avoid a trial and error love life. It sucks.

  68. f.... d....

    I want to learn to attract women. My buddy has started dating a stunning young woman basically because 2 months ago he registered to an internet site named Master Attraction I'm so jealous since I would like to fall in love too. Why is it so hard? I'm gonna take a peek at this Jake Ayres man's information to check out if it may help someone like me. Bizarre thing is, he previously had Zero joy with women. How could you improve that swiftly? His girl's a banging model.

  69. J.... V....

    I agree, both genders are just as nasty and vile to one another as it is completely dependent on the person. You should've spoken up and made yourself known, then maybe he would've noticed and then, maybe you would be with him just the same. Back to that gender equality thing, it means you can't just sit back, no matter your gender you have to step up, and make it known, even if it gets thrown back in your face.

  70. M.... ....

    Studies have shown that "nice" guys are less attractive than maybe a pot seller :(

  71. T.... ....

    watch the video.......it says the name of the album at the end in red letters......or you can google, bing, wikipedia......the ways of obtaining this knowledge is endless..OR....Just watch the video :)

  72. c.... ....

    So coll

  73. K.... C....

    Be your safe and respect

  74. K.... ....

    Jesus Christ! All of you suck it the fuck up!

    Grow a pair and stop groveling about your mishaps in life.

    Shit happens, get over it.

    You people are the reason why I'm embarrassed to say I like this kind of music, cause there's always going to be the notoriety of people like y'all liking this band as well...

  75. T.... H....

    This song is so soothing! Makes me fall asleep default is the best!!! I hope that things get better!

  76. d.... c....

    Mine was in january 2013 I loved this girl I went to ask her out a day and the day right before the guy that I thought was my best friend had got to her the day before

  77. a.... ....

    Since everybody is sharing their story i will too.. It began in summer 2012 when my sister had a friend over for sleepover. My sister asked me if i wanted to join playing som cards with them because i didn't go out with my friends that night! Me and my sisters friend had so much fun, it was unbelievable that i met a girl that was so beautiful and so funny! Well me and that girl went out and had so much fun and stuff like that.. i never said that i loved her and now it's to late. And it hurts....

  78. S.... H....

    I guess elmo1luvva was jealous Justin Bieber. -.-

  79. T.... ....

    No religious spouting, its offensive to others

  80. S.... ....

    Shane and Lori fandom brought me here. :)

  81. J.... ....

    Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. Rev14:9-10
    “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.” Isa 48:22
    Repent, Jesus is Lord.

  82. J.... ....

    Strong and sharp, and sore is the sword of the Lord GOD of Hosts
    who will punish inquity in His wrath, as it is written:
    "Vengeance is mine says the Lord, I will recompense."
    Great is the justice of JESUS Christ against the transgressors.
    Great is the fierceness and wrath of Almighty GOD.
    The cursed shall suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
    Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
    The Lord will visit the wicked in His great anger.
    He will pour out of His fury as streams of brimstone.

  83. m.... ....

    I can relate to you dude. I was just shy of two years with a girl that we had plans to live together and everything. She ditched me when my Grandma died. Perfect time eh ? .. Yeah it still hurts

  84. C.... M....

    fuck you y did click on this if you didnt like it?):(

  85. r.... ....

    Thats not fair.
    Not all girls are like that.
    Girls and guys both do this
    A lot of great guys get stuck with such terrible girls and good girls are left sitting and wondering.
    People are so worried that they wont get anyone else or that they didn't try hard enough.
    People need to brush themselves off and try again
    CANT FEEL LOVE WITHOUT A LITTLE BIT OF PAIN

    Any girl or guy who prefers a bad person is not worth your time. They are not mature enough or ready to handle anything serious.

  86. h.... ....

    I really needed to hear this song again!

  87. R.... C....

    gay absolutely gay song

  88. h.... a....

    this song is awsome!!!!!!!!

  89. k.... r....

    ugh this song makes me cry :(

  90. F.... ....

    i feel such pain when i hear songs like this i feel great because i'm not the only one who feels pain like this over a past i cant escape from!!!!!!!!

  91. T.... ....

    Utterly beautiful

  92. J.... P....

    I was with a girl for nearly 2 years, she always talked about stuff like moving in but it was my first relationship so I always shrugged it off. Like 2/3 months ago we started arguing a lot cause she hated me speaking to a female friend so I ended it. I regretted it not long after, but within 2 weeks she'd moved in with some pothead and now their going away for a few days together to Scotland soon even though they've been together for 2 months at most.
    I miss her, but I'm glad I got out as well.

  93. l.... ....

    best song

  94. C.... L....

    hillbilly hick town? honestly?

  95. C.... ....

    Probably. But will she learn her lesson? Doubtful.

  96. H.... P....

    bet she regrets it now :)

  97. J.... ....

    so fucking true!
