Lyrics:
HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE
His whiskey lit temper caught fire again and again
Ghosts in his closet just always haunted him
He’d lash out at his boy, and it was passed on down
Now that boy is grown and the pain goes round and round
CHORUS
Hurt people, hurt people
Like a ripple on the water when a stone is thrown
From one heart to another, the wave keeps rollin’ on
That’s just the way it goes
And why, nobody knows
Hurt people, hurt people
His daddy hurt him, and now he’s hurting you
You don’t understand it, wondering what did you do
Well, you’ve done nothing to deserve the pain you feel
There’s a wound deep in his soul that just won’t ever heal
(Repeat CHORUS)
We can’t break the chain
Not even for love’s sake
So it just goes on and on
Heartache to heartache
(Repeat CHORUS)
