You'Ve Been Hurt

You've Been Hurt I know your heart’s been hurt so many times before I see it in your eyes this pain comes from your core You protect that softest place that you harbor deep inside encasing it in an armor this tenderness that you hide You’re quick to raise defenses and assume there’s ill intent forcefully building fences expecting constant repent Chorus: I understand this kind of pain that makes it hard to see I’ll help you stop the pelting rain if this can set you free Crying soul you must begin to try to see the light Not everyone is evil or does things out of spite Love is what defines us and bonds your soul with mine Finding faults in everyone just widens the divide The crevice grows in depth each hurt just makes it widen making it harder every time to see to the other side Chorus: (repeat) Look with a forgiving eye upon those you choose to judge Perhaps intent was full of light not something to begrudge Our souls are cloaked in human skin imperfections simply inherent Choose to see the light within though not always apparent Chorus: (repeat)
