Hurt people, hurt people
They say you must be in a lot of pain
To be hurting everyone around you this way
Nobody, nobody ever showed you the way
You had to make your own mistakes
I'm left picking up the mess
That you made

I wish I could take you inside
And you could see the damage
First hand
First hand

I've got one million ways to make you pay
To make you feel like you're to blame
And you are
You know you are
Just hurt

Hurt people, hurt people
I know I can't blame everything on you
You did what you learned to do
From someone who's just as hurt as you
I know you did the best you knew to do
And I know I wanna do better
Be better than you

But I wish I could take you inside
And you could see the damage
First hand

I've got one million ways to make you pay
To make you feel like you're to blame
And you are
You know you are
And all I wanna do is run from you
I tell myself you're hurting too
And you are
We both know you know you are

This isn't what you wanted
But you've gotta live with what you've done
I know you learned your lesson, right
And I won't make you learn it twice
The ones we love the most
We hurt the most

I've got one million ways to make you pay
To make you feel like you're to blame
And you are
Yeah you know you are
But I won't hold you to the flame tonight
I know two wrongs won't make it right
When we are
We both know you know we are
Just hurt
Just hurt
Just hurt
Just hurt
Just hurt
