Hurt Less - Julien Baker

I used to never wear a seatbelt

'Cause I said I didn’t care

What happened

And I didn’t see the point

In trying to save myself

From an accident

'Cause if somebody’s gonna help me

What’s this fabric gonna help?

And when I’m pitched through the windshield

I hope the last thing that I felt before the pavement

Was my body float

I hope my soul goes too

I shouldn’t have let you leave

I should have called you twice

But I didn’t

'Cause it’s always something else

And I know it’s a bad time

But there’s no one left for me to call

And I was wondering if you would be my ride

And damn it, we are gonna figure something out

If it takes me all night to make it hurt less

Leave the car running

I’m not ready to go

It doesn’t matter where

I just don’t want to be alone

And as long as you’re not tired yet

Of talking, it helps to make it hurt less

Oh, leave the car running

I’m not ready to go

And it doesn’t matter where

I just don’t want to be alone

And as long as you’re not tired yet

Of talking, it helps to make it hurt less

This year I’ve started wearing safety belts

When I’m driving

Because when I’m with you

I don’t have to think about myself

And it hurts less
