[Chorus]
What if I told you hurt people hurt people
Cause I heard hurt people hurt people
What if I told you hurt people hurt people
Would you believe me?
What if I told you hurt people hurt people
Cause I heard hurt people hurt people
What if I told you hurt people hurt people
Would you believe me?


[Verse 1]
Maybe you're a hopeless romantic for having the faith to try
And settling cause you never could see the good in goodbye
So many years you had you fair share of ups and downs
But through the bumps & frowns, the tears, you stuck around
Through his call you’d start to grin, through his charm your heart would melt
But while giving your all to him, you lost a part of yourself
Cause he was broken, but you thought you could make him whole
Now the wear and tear on your heart started to take it's toll
And make you cold, so leaving, you would allude
And his own guilt made em think you were seeing another dude
You went from being physically down to mentally abused
The conflict between your heart & your mental got you confused
Another feud, you’re comfortable cause you don’t feel nothing
Gave you every reason to hate him yet you still love him
You’ve had enough but you ain’t tell him that
You held him down, and he held you back
You finally built the courage to leave, you packing up now
He’s begging you please and making a vow
You’re feeling relieved, thoughts were at ease, you step out the house
Just to find out the next week you’re bearing his child
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm a "hopeless romantic", which is sort of a flaw
For introducing you to my parents as their Daughter in Law
But I'm often under the influence, when expressing devotion
Getting drunk off your love, and throwing up my emotions
I'm hoping, you'll fully understand just what I'm saying
I heard it's not the cards you're dealt, but how you play em
I saw y'all as my wife and kid, so I guess I was Damon
Silly like Marlon for the little man, but that's not my way in
I'm patient, and I'm fair, but most of all I'm there
But you've been hurt so much to where it seems as if you don't even care
They were consistent with inconsistency, I did it differently
But they took so much of you, that there’s nothing left to give to me
One day you love me, and telling me I'm the best
Then the next, I'm lucky if I even receive a text
And I’m vexed, filled with regret, don't feel like trying anymore
You dragged me in a relationship that you weren't ready for
Now all your pictures are gone, I took your name out my phone
Cause I was after your heart, but that part you didn’t own
But I can’t blame you, me knowing that you’re torn apart
Just sad seeing you become the same men who broke your heart

[Chorus]
