Day 113: “It only hurts” – Default

!!!ITALIANO!!!

Over a million copies sold for their debut album: numbers are clear.

We are in 1999, and after some years of training, the band decided to take a step forward and begin to write some own songs: but they did not have a suitable singer. Auditions went on without success, when mostly for fun, one of the most faithful fan asked for an attempt: and this was the perfect meeting. Dallas Smith became Default‘s singer, and soon they were appreciated and produced by Nickelback‘s frontman, Chad Kroeger.

Today’s song is taken from “One Thing Remains“, band’s third album released in 2005: it was not choosen as single, and so there is not an official video, but it is definitely worth listening.

There is for you a little post-grunge from Canada, today’s song!

It Only Hurts – Lyrics

Can hold my breath only for a little while until reality starts sinking in
once again i’m settling for second best turn the pages 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
gets 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
gets open dreams are lost and hearts are broken

i know what your feeling it’s hard to believe in someone, someone who’s not there
i know that your 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
gets 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
gets open dreams are lost and hearts are broken
