Hurt People Hurt People. ( Summer Sky)

Lyrics

“Hurt People Hurt People”
(Intro)

(Soft vocals)
GT flow
Yeah… mm-mm (mm-mm)
How somebody broken gon’ know how to love right? (love right)
I gave you my heart… you gave me your pain (your pain)
And now I finally understand…
Hurt people hurt people…

(Verse 1)

You say you love me, then you cut me deep (deep)
Got me cryin’ to the ceiling, losin’ sleep (no sleep)
Every scar you hide keep bleedin’ on me
You fightin’ old demons, but you blame it on me (why?)
I held you down through the cold nights (cold nights)
Tried to heal your pain with my whole life (whole life)
But every time I get too close to your soul
You push me away like your heart made of stone (stone)

(Chorus 1)

Hurt people hurt people, that’s what you do (you do)
Bleed all on the ones that really love you (love you)
I tried to save you from the dark in your mind
But now I’m broken from the pieces of your fight

(Verse 2)

I can see the child behind your eyes (your eyes)
Still carryin’ pain, still tellin’ lies (lies)
You say forever, then you disappear
Leavin’ me drownin’ inside my fears (my fears)
And I ain’t perfect, I got wounds too (wounds too)
But I would never take my hurt out on you (on you)
Guess misery really loves company
Now your sadness got a hold of me (hold of me)

(Chorus 2)

Hurt people hurt people, now I understand (understand)
Why you keep destroyin’ everything you hold in your hands (your hands)
I gave you love, you gave me scars
Now I’m sittin’ alone talkin’ to the stars

(Verse 3)

I’m tired of carryin’ pain that ain’t mine (ain’t mine)
Tired of hearin’ “baby, give me one more time” (one more time)
You gotta heal before you call this love (this love)
‘Cause broken hearts can turn so dangerous (dangerous)
And maybe one day you’ll finally grow (finally grow)
Learn real love don’t hurt your soul (your soul)
But tonight I’m choosin’ me instead
No more bleedin’ for the tears you never shed

(Chorus 3)

Hurt people hurt people, but I won’t anymore (anymore)
I’m sweepin’ all your memories off my floor (my floor)
You can keep the pain you never faced
I’m finally puttin’ my heart in a safer place

(Chorus 4)

Hurt people hurt people, that cycle so real (so real)
But healing starts the moment you finally feel (finally feel)
I loved you hard, even through the rain
Now I’m walkin’ away before you hurt me again (again)

(outro)

(Emotional vocals fading out)
Yeah… yeah…
I can’t heal wounds you won’t face (won’t face)
Can’t keep drownin’ tryin’ to save you (save you)
Maybe someday you’ll understand what you did to me…
But tonight… I’m lettin’ go (lettin’ go)
‘Cause hurt people hurt people…
And I refuse to become you…
