Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna 'cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would live
When I start to feel I'm in trouble again
I just keep it as friends 'cause I know how it ends
When I feel like I'll be the devil again
I'll sit back and pretend like we both never met
I found courage at 16 but lost it at 23
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
And I lost my self-esteem believing in a dream
I lost my faith, I lost my faith, oh-oh
Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna 'cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would live
You might think that I'm crazy
You might think you can save me
I wish it was that easy, oh-oh-oh
Hurt people, hurt people that's how it ends
And I don't wanna 'cause you pain-ain-ain
No, I don't wanna 'cause you pain-ain-ain
No, I don't wanna 'cause you pain
When the cracks appear and we fall in-between
Oh, you suddenly see this is far from your dreams
When the chaos comes it will sweep us away
I'm a slave to my ways
You deserve better days
You found courage at 16 and lost it when you had me
It's not okay, it's not okay
So don't lose your self-esteem believing in a dream
And lose your way, don't lose your faith, oh-oh
Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna 'cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would live
You might think that I'm crazy
You might think you can save me
I wish it was that easy, oh-oh-oh
Hurt people, hurt people that's how it ends
And I don't wanna 'cause you pain-ain-ain
No, I don't wanna 'cause you pain-ain-ain
No, I don't wanna 'cause you pain
Why won't you hear me when I say
You're way too good for me anyway?
Why won't you hear me when I say
You're way too good for me anyway?
Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna 'cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would live, ooh
You might think that I'm crazy (crazy)
You might think you can save me (save me)
I wish it was that easy (easy), oh-oh-oh
Hurt people, hurt people that's how it ends
And I don't wanna 'cause you pain-ain-ain
No, I don't wanna 'cause you pain-ain-ain
No, I don't wanna 'cause you pain
'Cause you pain
I don't wanna 'cause you pain
