For Pop Tart

This is for my friend who has been dismissed by the one she loves.

This is for all of us who hurt.

That would be all of us...
Sometimes.


(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

I love that song (and I believe I know the friend) too. My theme would be more like, "The Bitch is Back."

This is a fantastic song, I remember the first time I heard it, it captured me. I love REM.

So sorry to hear about your friend's heartache. I hope things get better.

True enuff - my friend.

Its good - just to sit back and think, take a breath for awhile, then take stock, the brain works a lot better then.
Hope you are doing well Pouty,my friend.

I have this song by a British female singer called Alex Parks. She happens to be gay, and although I'm not always into covers her version works really well. Always brings a lump to my throat.

I'm sorry that someone is hurting, I'm sorry that we are all hurting. :(

This is one of my all-time favorite songs and one that I have found relevant more times than I care to think about.

Hurting is absolutely, positively no fun. It sucks. I'm sending pop tart thoughts to your friend pop tart.

I'm fond of strawberry myself.

Wonderful song! Ideal for a very loud sing-a-long. Sweet of you to post it for your friend. Things will get better. One day ;-)
