Hurt People (feat. Cam)

My momma was raised in a little house

Right on the Georgia line

Middle of the three to a mother who drank

Way too much sometimes

She left home when she turned 18

For a different kind of life

She fell for somebody with some southern charm

She thought just might treat her right

She became a mother, became a wife

And they got used to they way they’d fight

So the cycle keeps going

And now it’s his heart that’s broken

You can hide your scars, ignore your pain

But it all comes out in other ways

And you don’t know when so you’re living on pins and needles

So we do our best getting through our days

But deep down it feels like were all the same

Nobody’s good, nobody’s evil

But hurt people hurt people

But hurt people hurt people

I knew they wouldn’t understand but I told them anyway

And 10 years later, I’m still waiting for time to heal this pain

My daddy said I want you to know that we’re not proud of you

So I left home all on my own just like hurt people do

They always told me you got your mother’s eyes

And I saw it clearly as we both cried

And the cycle keeps going

And now it’s my heart that’s broken

You can hide your scars, ignore your pain

But it all comes out in other ways

And you don’t know when so you’re living on pins and needles

So we do our best getting through our days

But deep down it feels like were all the same

Nobody’s good, nobody’s evil

But hurt people hurt people

But hurt people hurt people

You can hide your scars, ignore your pain

But it all comes out in other ways

And you don’t know when so you’re living on pins and needles

So we do our best getting through our days

But deep down it feels like were all the same

Nobody’s good, nobody’s evil

Nobody’s good, nobody’s evil

But hurt people hurt people

But hurt people hurt people
