Who Hurt You

Tell me honey who hurt you ?

Who painted your green eyes blue ?

Who helped you brick that wall ?

Poured you out like alcohol

Let me help you slip off that heavy coat

Let me resew the pedals of your trampled rose

There’s a part of your heart that I just can’t get to

I know who hurt me, honey, who hurt you ?

Was it the hurt of a mother, the dirty work of a lover

that dragged you under the water line

beat you up like a punchline

You tried to bury it deep in a

shallow grave

But the body knows every name

It’s a secret you can’t hide

It’s a death that won’t die

Tell me honey who hurt you ?

Who painted your green eyes blue ?

Who helped you brick that wall ?

Poured you out like alcohol

Who struck the match that burned you cold

Let me resew the pedals of your trampled rose

I’m gonna love you up and down till you’re good as new

I know who hurt me, honey, who hurt you ?

every patient kiss gonna be like a drip of amnesia in your memory banks

im gonna sweep em all away

Your fears are getting no more tears

Your fears are getting no more years

I’ll sweep them all away

pray the ears right off the saints

Tell me honey who hurt you ?

Who painted your green eyes blue ?

Who helped you brick that wall ?

Poured you out like alcohol

Let me help you slip off that heavy coat

Let me resew the pedals of your trampled rose

Ain’t no hero but I’ll do all I can do

I know who hurt me, honey, who hurt you ?
