The ones who've hurt you
The hands and the lies and the things that they didHave created a rift in your heartAnd it's too wide to span.I am only one manAnd my efforts have torn us apart.
I gave you all that a lover could giveAnd yet you couldn't let me inside.You said that you care, that the feelings were there,But behind a wall where they hide.
I don't know what more I could have done to heal your heart.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you,I want to really make them pay.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt youFor stealing our chance at love away.
I gave you a ring and I wrote you a song,And I tattooed your heart on my handThen I looked in your eyesAnd hoped for a signThat you loved your man.
I sang of our love from the tops of the trees,And I wrote both our names in the sky.Yet on the face of a book,You advanced all the rooks,Yet you left your king to die.
And I don't know what more I could have done to heal your heart.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you,I want to really make them pay.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you,For stealing our chance at love away.
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you,I want to dearly make them pay.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you,For stealing our chance at love away.
And so, I suppose, this is really goodbye.God, I hope, that you saw how I tried.And I envy the man who'll be holding your handOn that day your demons die.
I wish you all that love has to give,It's around you just all of the time.'cause love is a thingLike a bird on a wing,Once you break that cage inside.
And I don't know what more I could have done to heal your heart.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you,I want to really make them pay.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt youFor stealing our chance at love away.
I want to hurt the ones who've hurt you,I want to kill them with rage.I want to hurt the ones who've hurt youFor making you this way.
