Hurt People
Hurt people tend to hurt people
They need someone else to suffer
Shattered hearts just longing
To be made of something tougher
Perhaps they aren't used to kindness
Or faith in humanity was stripped away
Maybe everyone kept walking out
When they were being begged to stay
Hurt people live in the hopelessness
You can't see the pain, left in scars upon their house
They cover it with a mask of "happiness"
While their hearts are a hallowed place
Hurt is kind of like a broken bone
Even when yourself is the one to blame
You can always mend the physicality
But it's never quite the same
