Hurt

 

If you had stuck a knife in me

​

The wound would heal

​

Today I can't express to you the way I feel

​

No plaster or bandage can ever comfort my soul

​

The wound is deep, deeper than you'll ever know...

​

I'm bleeding tears, tears flowing from within

​

Deeper than wounds which affect only the skin

​

These tears I shed are from my heart as I try

​

To understand why you want to make me cry

​

If you'll not talk to me, I will never know

​

And I've asked for years for you to tell me

​

What did I do, what hurts you inside?

​

Help me understand these tears I've cried

​

If you'll not talk to me, what can I say?

​

How can I make your hurt go away?

​

How can I stop you from hurting me?

​

Please help me to help you, just set us both free!
