Cover art for It Only Hurts lyrics by Default

In my opinion.. Its about a guy who fell in love.. Originally the girl thought the same way.. but after a while she realizes she only just wants to be friends. "Friend Zone". Which goes along with the "Settling for second best" Its better to be a friend.. then nothing at all. But its painful for him since He's always going to be on the sidelines as a friend and lying ("Yes i'm happy for you.. No I'm fine... its alright") to make her happy and not feel bad b/c he doesn't want to hurt and lose her further. But he still can't stop loving her on the inside. He hurts when your eyes are open (awake).. Because reality they can't be together.. But When he sleeps they're together in his dreams.

@Slashz28 I know this is nine years later but I think it's about adultery. " Miles away promise from a burning bed. Two worlds should never collide. One word would end it if you ever heard. Also the door on the album is scarlet which is the colour symbol of Adultery.
