Hurt People Hurt People

[Chorus] What if I told you hurt people hurt people Cause I heard hurt people hurt people What if I told you hurt people hurt people Would you believe me? What if I told you hurt people hurt people Cause I heard hurt people hurt people What if I told you hurt people hurt people Would you believe me? [Verse 1] Maybe you're a hopeless romantic for having the faith to try And settling cause you never could see the good in goodbye So many years you had you fair share of ups and downs But through the bumps & frowns, the tears, you stuck around Through his call you’d start to grin, through his charm your heart would melt But while giving your all to him, you lost a part of yourself Cause he was broken, but you thought you could make him whole Now the wear and tear on your heart started to take it's toll And make you cold, so leaving, you would allude And his own guilt made em think you were seeing another dude You went from being physically down to mentally abused The conflict between your heart & your mental got you confused Another feud, you’re comfortable cause you don’t feel nothing Gave you every reason to hate him yet you still love him You’ve had enough but you ain’t tell him that You held him down, and he held you back You finally built the courage to leave, you packing up now He’s begging you please and making a vow You’re feeling relieved, thoughts were at ease, you step out the house Just to find out the next week you’re bearing his child [Chorus] [Verse 2] Maybe I'm a "hopeless romantic", which is sort of a flaw For introducing you to my parents as their Daughter in Law But I'm often under the influence, when expressing devotion Getting drunk off your love, and throwing up my emotions I'm hoping, you'll fully understand just what I'm saying I heard it's not the cards you're dealt, but how you play em I saw y'all as my wife and kid, so I guess I was Damon Silly like Marlon for the little man, but that's not my way in I'm patient, and I'm fair, but most of all I'm there But you've been hurt so much to where it seems as if you don't even care They were consistent with inconsistency, I did it differently But they took so much of you, that there’s nothing left to give to me One day you love me, and telling me I'm the best Then the next, I'm lucky if I even receive a text And I’m vexed, filled with regret, don't feel like trying anymore You dragged me in a relationship that you weren't ready for Now all your pictures are gone, I took your name out my phone Cause I was after your heart, but that part you didn’t own But I can’t blame you, me knowing that you’re torn apart Just sad seeing you become the same men who broke your heart [Chorus] [Sound bite of “Love Scars” by poet Rob Atchison plays]
