hurt people, hurt people:

Intro - Verse 1:

I want to be loved as a person,

and not as a lesson. 

I love so loudly, just to hope

that in return, I hear an echo

But you stabbed me through my heart,

and in my back.

Yet, I will always still forgive you.

Chorus:

For hurt PEOPLE, HURT people,

and that's alright with me. 

Cause when it's you, 

I'll forgive all your faults. 

And when it's you 

I'll just look into your eyes, 

hold your face and

wipe all the tears away that you've cried. 

Verse 2:

For I would've died for you, 

cause you made my life worth living.

But your love poisoned my perspective

on how to be loved. 

And I was yours to teach you how 

unconditional love,

doesn’t elude and truly exists. 

Yet, you were my mine to teach me how

to choose my own love.

If I ever want to be fully fixed.

But that's fine with me,

for I’ll always choose to forgive you, 

even when my tears fall

without your hands to dry them off.

Chorus:

For hurt PEOPLE, HURT people,

and that's fine with me. 

Cause when it's you, 

I'll forgive all your faults. 

And when it's you 

I'll just look into your eyes, 

hold your face and

wipe all the tears away that you've cried.

Verse 3:

I loved you so much that,

I lost sight of how to love me too.

For your love drained me of

all my life. 

So much so, that I forgot how to see the light.

How to feel the breeze beneath my wings, 

and I forgot how it feels to soar so high

Cause I was trapped beneath your tide,

desperately clinging on,

just to survive.

Yet, your current always consumed me

But then at least I could still feel your,

strong pull, and pulse of life. 

Yet, I loved you so much so,

That I lost myself,

But that was a sacrifice,

I was willing to make. 

Chorus:

For hurt PEOPLE, HURT people,

and that's okay with me. 

Cause when it's you, 

I'll forgive all your faults. 

Cause when it's you 

I'll just look into your eyes, 

Hold your face and

wipe all the tears away that you've cried. 

But when it's you,

I'll always care for you,

Even now at a distance,

I'll never stop cheering you on,

amongst the crowd.

Repeat:

For hurt PEOPLE, HURT people,

and that's alright with me. 

cause when it's you,

I'll forgive all your faults. 

And when it's you,

If your tides ever shift,

then I'll push against the current,

Cause our love needs to be put to rest.

And then it's you,

and as I said everyday,

I was with you.

I love you,

forever and always...
