The Ones We Hurt the Most

Well, the build-up seemed so easy

Without nothing could go wrong

Nothing in this life prepared me

To watch you fighting to hang on

And you put so much in

For nothing in return

And to see you going through this

Was the hardest thing I've done

To feel so powerless to help you

Once your mind was too far gone

And you were putting so much in

For nothing in return

Until they set you free

And now that we've come out the other side

Two strangers in a town we recognise

And we're taking our first cautious steps outside

To find out why

The ones we love the most we hurt the most

And the ones we hurt the most we give the most

And the ones that take the most we need the most

Oh, and the ones we need the most we build our hopes upon

We build our hopes upon

And you were putting so much in

So much in

And you were putting so much in

For nothing in return
