Hurting People Lyrics

My need to be loved was asking too much

I did not know they didn't know how to

I'm sad and I'm shocked but it does mean a lot

Now to know that they weren't just being rude

But don't be offended my friend

This is not where it all ends

No don't be offended my friend

Here's where we just start again

Again

I heard hurting people hurt people

This is a cycle where nobody's free

Now I know people are people

Their need for love is no different from me

I am not saying you shouldn't be safe

I'm not saying don't go for help

What I am saying is here's what I've learned

They need love too and they need to be heard

And I do not mean to offend

But somebody needs to love them

I never meant to offend

But we need to stop this pretend

I heard hurting people hurt people

This is a cycle where nobody's free

Now I know people are people

Their need for love is no different from me

Who's gonna love the unlovely

If love is enough why not us

Who's gonna love the unlovely

It has to be me if I truely believe

Somebody love the unlovely

If love is enough it has to be us

Somebody love the unlovely

If love doesn't give up

Why not us

I heard hurting people hurt people

This is a cycle

Where nobody's free

Now I know people are people

Their need for love

Is no different from me

And if hurting people hurt people

Maybe they've never been loved

It's time we show people are people

And show this world

Love is enough
