Hurt People (feat. Cam)

My mama was raised in a little house

Right on the Georgia line

Middle of three to a mother who drank

Way too much sometimes

She left home when she turned eighteen

For a different kind of life

She fell for somebody with some Southern charm

She thought just might treat her right

She became a mother, became a wife

And they got used to the way they'd fight

So the cycle keeps going

Now it's his heart that's broken

You can hide your scars, ignore your pain

But it all comes out in other ways

And you don't know when, so you're living on pins and needles

So we do our best getting through our days

But deep down it feels like we're all the same

Nobody is good, nobody's evil

But hurt people hurt people

Hurt people hurt people

I knew they wouldn't understand

But I told 'em anyway

And ten years later, I'm still waiting for time to heal this pain

My daddy said, "I want you to know that we're not proud of you"

So I left home all on my own, just like hurt people do

They always told me, got your mother's eyes

And I saw it clearly as we both cried

And the cycle keeps going

And now it's my heart that's broken

Well, you can hide your scars, ignore your pain

But it all comes out in other ways

And you don't know when, so you're living on pins and needles

So we do our best getting through our days

But deep down it feels like we're all the same

Nobody's good, nobody's evil

But hurt people hurt people

Hurt people hurt people

You can hide your scars, ignore your pain

But it all comes out in other ways

And you don't know when, so you're living on pins and needles

So we do our best getting through our days

But deep down it feels like we're all the same

Nobody's good, nobody's evil

Nobody's good, nobody's evil

But hurt people hurt people

Hurt people hurt people
