sxmrxxt - if it hurts, it's working lyrics

[intro]
“i only felt alive when it broke me.”

[hook]
if it hurts, it’s working — truth’s not gentle
love’s not safe, it’s sharp, experimental
scars write lines that are non+parental
pain cuts clear through the calm, essential

[verse 1]
bit down grief like a bold confession
stared in glass with a warped expression
fell in flames for a brief progression
burned through peace with a soft obsession
chose the ache like a proud possession
tamed my tears in a looped recession
bruised each thought in a quiet session
healed too slow for a learned profession
broke my trust like a forced suggestion
built my hope in a wrong direction
read your texts with a misperception
loved like war — no real protection
wore my fault like a badge of merit
held the weight though i didn’t share it
lost my laugh, couldn’t even wear it
named my grief and forgot to bear it
[hook]
if it hurts, it’s working — truth’s not gentle
love’s not safe, it’s sharp, experimental
scars write lines that are non+parental
pain cuts clear through the calm, essential

[verse 2]
clenched my fist just to feel the pressure
smiled through storms like a practiced jester
you said leave, i replied with “yes, sure” —
but stayed locked in the past like texture
grew from loss like a strained investor
paid in pain, now the debt’s no lesser
each new high came with guilt professor
taught me love but it felt like lesser
laid my fears in a box, collector
tagged each ache like a wound inspector
truth hit raw like a film projector
fl!ckered scenes of a ghost connector
wrote this verse with a pen that’s splintered
kept your words where the air got wintered
felt your goodbye like a clock that hindered
and stayed stuck where the light had dimmed or’d

[hook]
if it hurts, it’s working — truth’s not gentle
love’s not safe, it’s sharp, experimental
scars write lines that are non+parental
pain cuts clear through the calm, essential
[pre+hook]
(“do you still feel me when it burns?”)

[hook]
if it hurts — then maybe i’m healing
love was war, but i kept on feeling

[outro]
if it hurts — i kept on feeling
