Discover the story of the song > Everybody Hurts – Avril Lavigne

The song is about a girl who feels lost and scared after her partner leaves her. She feels like nothing matters anymore and she can't breathe without him. However, the chorus reminds her that it's okay to feel this way and that everyone goes through it sometimes. The bridge talks about her unanswered questions and the outro reassures her that even though she feels this way now, it will be okay in the end.
