Hurt You

[Verse 1]

I cut loose your prehistoric point of view

A tight noose that hung me above all I knew

You're fish food and I am not afraid of you now

I shampooed out all the dirt from your abuse

In ten moves you're gonna change your attitude

A shark tooth and you should be afraid of me now

[Pre-Chorus]

A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean

I couldn't trust you with my emotions

I had to become a recluse, I like me better now that I'm mad

A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean

I couldn't trust you with my emotions

And now you're calling me crazy 'cause I like being bad

[Chorus]

This is the way, uh

This is thе way that I hurt you

But cutting you loose, you can't get a grip of my heart

This is thе way, uh

This is the way that I hurt you

Though you tried to convince me I'm burning, I came out alive

[Verse 2]

You tried to sell my death like it's a parachute

Send me out to war like I was bulletproof

But now you're watching your back when you come through my town

The class clowns got your chakras shaking in their boots

I put too much pressure on a substitute

You couldn't handle me then, can't put a stop to me now

[Pre-Chorus]

A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean

I couldn't trust you with my emotions

I had to become a recluse, I like me better now that I'm mad

A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean

I couldn't trust you with my emotions

And now you're calling me crazy 'cause I like being bad

[Chorus]

This is the way, uh

This is the way that I hurt you

But cutting you loose, you can't get a grip of my heart

This is the way, uh

This is the way that I hurt you

Though you tried to convince me I'm burning, I came out alive

[Post-Chorus]

What doesn't kill us makes us stranger

They say that damaged people aren't afraid of danger

You cut, you can bruise but I've got ten rounds for your one

What doesn't kill us makes us stranger

They say that damaged people aren't afraid of danger

I'll be black, I'll be blue, still, I'll rise like the morning sun

[Bridge]

Ever been in the swamp and kept rowing?

Had the weight of the world and stayed floating?

Showed up brand new when inside your broken

The power in you, yeah, it won't go unnoticed

[Chorus]

This is the way, uh

This is the way that I hurt you

But cutting you loose, you can't get a grip of my heart

This is the way, uh

This is the way that I hurt you

Though you tried to convince me I'm burning, I came out alive
