To the People I Hurt

Hear you say you're lonely inside
Don't fake the reason baby
I know I'm why
A trillion sorries won't make it right
You won't change your mind
About that weekend night
I did too much damage
I could never deny

I had to see with my eyes
That maybe it ain't worth that fight
If I could make it right
I would take your pain and make it mine

'Cause everybody hurts somebody sometimes
And we know that we do
But do we know the reasons why?
I got it from you
You got it from who?
And what did they do to you?
Guess everybody hurts somebody sometimes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Being a kid from the midwest
I learned a lot about the ways not to be
And you know what I mean by that
Used to get tattoos and my grandma would say to me
If I don't stop now then I'll never get a real job
My friends were in the basement
My grandpa worked the dayshift
Found out my dad had a girlfriend
And my mom didn't know but I heard her cry in the shower that morning

I had to see with my eyes
That maybe it ain't worth it that fight
If I could make it right
I would take your pain and make it mine

'Cause everybody hurts somebody sometimes
And we know that we do
But do we know the reasons why?
I got it from you
You got it from who?
And what did they do to you?
Guess everybody hurts somebody sometimes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

To the people I hurt
To the people I hurt, I was hurting
To the people I hurt
To the people I hurt, I was hurting
To the people I hurt
To the people I hurt, I was hurting
To the people I hurt
To the people I hurt, I was hurting

Everybody hurts somebody sometimes
And we know that we do
But do we know the reason why?
I got it from you
You got it from who?
And what did it do to you?
Guess everybody hurts somebody sometimes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
