Drop the ball, watch it fall far below  Suck you in, hold your breath  The undertow creeps in slow  Everyone owns a gun deep inside  It's just a matter of how much you let it slide    Drop the ball, watch it fall far below  Suck you in, hold your breath  The undertow creeps in slow  Everyone owns a gun deep inside  It's just a matter of how much you let it slide    Bridge:  Help me help you, they won't be there  Help me help you, they won't see    Chorus:  And it hurts when you need me  And I can't break your fall  It hurts when you can't see  And it hurts    Drop the switch, scratch the itch, watch it glow  Inch by inch the cutting board  Watch it swing to and fro  Everyone carries one deep inside  It's just a matter of how much you let it slide    Wash it off, take the loss, let it go  Take it in, drink it up, we can just take it slow  Everyone carries one deep inside  It's just a matter of how much you let it slide    Bridge:  Help me help you, they won't be there  Help me help you, they won't see    Chorus (2x):  And it hurts when you need me  And I can't break your fall  It hurts when you can't see  And it hurts    And it hurts when you're lonely  And I'm standin' right beside you there  And it hurt when you told me  That you'll try this on your own    Hope you never hurt  Hope you never cry  Hope you never lose your way tonight  Hope you never crumble  Hope you never fall  Hope you never throw away it    Drop the ball watch it fall far below  Suck you in, hold your breath, watch it swing    Yeah, yeah    Chorus(2x):  And it hurts when you need me  And I can't break your fall  It hurts when you can't see  And it hurts    And it hurts, and it hurts  And it hurts, and it hurts  And it hurts, and it hurts  And it hurts, and it hurts    these lyrics are submitted by Swayze
