Hurt People

(album: Gone - 2017)

Hurt people, hurt people...

I'm a better man 'cause of you
Thought we had a chance, that's true
But you have weapons
Didn't know you have weapons
Now I'm insecure and stressed out
When someone gets close, I shut down
Always second-guessing
Got so many questions

You did it to me, 'cause he did it to you
And now I'm gonna turn around and do it to my new girl
I do it to her, she do it to him
This cycle won't ever end 'cause

Hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people, so lethal
Around and around we go
Guess we're used to the blame
Everybody heart breaking
Hungover, love wasted
Too much we can't take it
Yeah we all feel the blame
Hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people, hurt people

Okay, I'm sick of the games
I'm sick and I feel like I'm wasting my time
I don't see how you're so good at doing your make up
But can't seem to make up your mind
You drive me crazy disobeying the signs
I know that you took an emotional bullet
But now you're the one with the gun and it's loaded
And pointed right at me, you hurt people
And you don't even know it
Girl you turn me into a poet
Every time you get me in my emotions
Baby the love that we had was explosive
We had to blow it
That's just how it goes when you're young and you're easily broken
Man, it's pretty easy to notice

Hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people, so lethal
Around and around we go
Guess we're used to the blame
Everybody heart breaking
Hungover, love wasted
Too much we can't take it
Yeah we all feel the blame
Hurt people, hurt people

I don't wanna hurt you
Baby, I deserve you
I've been waiting for a long, long, long, long time
If we could learn to stab each other in the back a little bit less
Then we could last a long, long (long, long, long time)
If we could learn to stab each other in the back a little bit less
Then we could last a long, long, long, long time (long, long, long time)

Hurt people, hurt people
Hurt people, so lethal
Around and around we go
Guess we're used to the blame
Everybody heart breaking
Hungover, love wasted
Too much we can't take it
Yeah we all feel the blame
Hurt people, hurt people
