Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would liveWhen I start to feel I'm in trouble again
I just keep it as friends 'cause I know how it ends
When I feel like I'll be the devil again
I'll sit back and pretend like we both never metI found courage at 16 but lost it at 23
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
And I lost my self-esteem believin' in a dream
I lost my faith, I lost my faith, ohHurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would live
You might think that I'm crazy
You might think you can save me
I wish it was that easy, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hurt people, hurt people, that's how it ends
And I don't wanna cause you pain, ay-ay, ay-ain
No, I don't wanna cause you pain, ay-ay, ay-ain
No, I don't wanna cause you painWhen the cracks appear and we fall in between
Oh, you suddenly see this is far from your dreams
When the chaos comes and we're sleepless awake
I'm a slave to my ways, you deserve better daysYou found courage at 16 and lost it when you met me
That's not okay, it's not okay
So don't lose your self-esteem believin' in a dream
And lose your way, don't lose your faith, ohHurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would live, oh
You might think that I'm crazy
You might think you can save me
I wish it was that easy, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hurt people, hurt people, that's how it ends
And I don't wanna cause you pain, ay-ay, ay-ain
No, I don't wanna cause you pain, ay-ay, ay-ain
No, I don't wanna cause you painWhy won't you hear me when I say
You're way too good for me anyway
Why won't you hear me when I say
You're way too good for me anywayHurt people, hurt people's how it begins
And I don't wanna cause you pain
This ain't the way that I thought we would live, oohYou might think that I'm crazy (Crazy)
