Hurt You

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
