The Ones Who've Hurt You

(앨범: Heart-Shaped Wound - 2017)

The hymns and the lies
And the things that they did
Have created a rift in your heart
And it's too wide to spend
I am only one man
And my efforts have torn us apart
I gave you all that a lover could give
And yet you couldn't let me inside
You said that you care
That the feelings were there
But behind a wall where they hide

And I don't know what more I could have done
To heal your heart
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
I want to really make them pay
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
For stealing our chance at love away

I gave you a ring and I wrote you a song
And I tattoo'd your heart on my hand
And then I looked in your eyes
And hoped for a sign
That you loved your man
I sang of our love
From the tops of the trees
And I wrote both our names in the sky
Yet on the face of a brook
You advanced all the rooks
Yet you left your king to die

And I don't know what more I could have done
To heal your heart
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
I want to really make them pay
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
For stealing our chance at love away
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
I want to dearly make them pay
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
For stealing our chance at love away

So I suppose this is really goodbye
God I hope that you saw how I tried
And I envy the man, who'll be holding your hand
On that day your demons die
I wish you all that love has to give
It's around you just all of the time
Cause love is a thing
Like a bird on the wing
Once you break that cage inside

And I don't know what more I could have done
To heal your heart
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
I want to really make them pay
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
For stealing our chance at love away
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
I want to kill them with a rage
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you
For making you this way
