Hurt People

I’ve drank on a barstool

I’ve cried on a couch

Felt like a damn fool

Figuring out

Why we weren’t working

But the cold hard truth

Is there’s no one to blame

Wasn’t me wasn’t you

I’ll go work on myself for a little while

You go and find that pretty smile

Maybe one day fate will bring you my way

Maybe we’re just lessons learned

We were over before it started

We were broken before broken hearted

Love doesn’t have a chance

Until you understand

Hurt people, hurt people

I’ve heard people say

You find love in the stars

But if you do things our way

It gets lost in the scars

We both said some harsh words

It took time to see

Yours were more about you

Mine were more about me

I’ll go work on myself for a little while

You go and find that pretty smile

Maybe one day fate will bring you my way

Maybe we’re just lessons learned

We were over before it started

We were broken before broken hearted

Love doesn’t have a chance

Until you understand

Hurt people, hurt people

I’ll go work on myself for a little while

You go and find that pretty smile

Maybe one day fate will bring you my way

Maybe we’re just lessons learned

We were over before it started

We were broken before broken hearted

Love doesn’t have a chance

Until you understand

Hurt people, hurt people
