I’ve been staying for the wrong reasons
But I gotta go, boy you should know
I once loved you
I’ve been searching for the real reason
Maybe someday the truth will find me
You ask me why why why do I hurt you
I don’t know why why why I don’t deserve you
Don’t make me lie lie lie boy I heard you
I gotta fly fly fly like them birds do
I don’t wanna hurt no more, hurt no more
I don’t wanna hurt you no more
I don’t wanna hurt no more, hurt no more
Hurt you like I hurt you before
Cause hurt people, hurt people
I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting you
Yeah, hurt people hurt people
I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting too
I’ve been giving you the cold shoulder
I don’t want you close then you would know
I’m just broken
And this movie I’ve been starring in is over
Maybe someday the light will find me
You ask me why why why do I hurt you
I don’t know why why why I don’t deserve you
Don’t make me lie lie lie boy I heard you
I gotta fly fly fly like them birds do
I don’t wanna hurt no more, hurt no more
I don’t wanna hurt you no more
I don’t wanna hurt no more, hurt no more
Hurt you like I hurt you before
Cause hurt people, hurt people
I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting you
Yeah, hurt people hurt people
I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting, I’ve been hurting too
I don’t wanna hurt no more, hurt no more
I don’t wanna hurt you no more
I don’t wanna hurt no more, hurt no more
Hurt you like I hurt you before
