Hurt


 

They say hurt people hurt people 

But I ain’t ever hurt nobody 

How much hurt does it take to hurt somebody great 

I’m filled with hurt let it 

Eat me up inside 

Then let it go 

May come right back but it’s gone for good 

I cry , I talk to myself about it 

Cause if you talk to a friend 

That’ll be the end Of it 

I don’t hate you but I hate myself for loving you 

I knew better and I still let it happen 

I’m a glutton for pain 

It happened once it happened twice I let you in 

And you let me down 

I cried about it 

I’m still bent out of shape over it 

You think shit is all good 

Cause my heart big

My heart bleeding inside 

It’s tearing 

I’m broken 

I don’t hate you but I know I should 

I hate this feeling 

I still love you 

I’m trying to not turn cold and heartless 

I’m trying to be able to love again one day 

Trying to keep my spirits high 

Trying not to feel so stupid 

Love is a high risk game 

And I want out 

But I can’t get out I’m trapped 

I’m stuck 

Big hole in my heart and it keeps getting bigger 

Soon all the pain will go away 

And I’ll stop hurting and stop loving 

Disappointment and love go hand in hand
