Lauren Taylor Degen - Hurt People

Hurt people hurt people when people hurt people
Hurt people been hurt too many times

Mama said don't take it so personally
Some men just don't know what they've got until it's gone
But it's hard to not take it personally
When he looked me in the eye and said I was the one

Mama said there was more to his story
Parts of shame I'm sure he never shared
Like all the plans he changed and sacrifices made
For a girl who up and left him outta nowhere

When all you see is one step ahead you lose perspective of the journey as a whole
Life treats people differently, different cards are dealt to different souls
It's out of our control
Some love harder when things get hard and some say goodbye
Sometimes the only answer why is
Hurt people hurt people when people hurt people
Hurt people been hurt too many times

Daddy said he must be running from something
And you did all you could to make him stay
So don't kill yourself wishing and wondering
That the ending to your story would have changed

When all you see is one step ahead you lose perspective of the journey as a whole
Life treats people differently, different cards are dealt to different souls
It's out of our control
Some love harder when things get hard and some say goodbye
Sometimes the only answer why is
Hurt people hurt people when people hurt people
Hurt people been hurt too many times

If I don't take the time to heal
I might end up in the same old cycle
Unable to fight for love that's real
Drowning in self-doubt of denial
I'd probably walk away just like him before too much time
Cuz leaving first means never being left behind

Hurt people hurt people when people hurt people
Hurt people hurt people when people hurt people

When all you see is one step ahead you lose perspective of the journey as a whole
Life treats people differently, different cards are dealt to different souls
It's out of our control
Some love harder when things get hard and some say goodbye
Sometimes the only answer why is
Hurt people hurt people when people hurt people
Hurt people been hurt too many times

Hurt people hurt people when people hurt people
Hurt people been hurt too many times
