It Hurts

Because it hurts

So I hurt myself more

Because it hurts

So I let the blood pour

I couldn't find another way

Now my scars are road maps back to my past

You beg for the old me but the old me is dead

I killed that little girl and watched her lay there

You tell me I changed but I guess that's fine

Because it still hurts

And I don't want to hurt myself anymore

Because it hurts

The way my mind turns things around

I can't focus and can't fight

Life keeps giving me mountains that I can't climb

Because it hurts

This weight around my ankles god knows it's true

You pull me down and I can't escape

Because it hurts

So I let the blood pour

Because it hurts

So I hurt myself more

These maps to my past open and sore

You beg for history

I'm just trying to out run it

But I'm getting tired

I can't seem to catch my breath

Because it hurts

It always hurts.
