Aches & pains, we pass them on
Kids in school, dads and moms
Sharper words, the swords we draw
Pointing out each other's flaws
We give our all, try and fail
Busted dreams, empty sails
Force a smile, pretend we're strong
The war inside keeps marching on
I know, oh oh
Hurt people
Hurt people
Broken hearts
Break hearts
Life bruises unequal
Everyone fights a battle that's hard
Grace where grace is needed
No matter who you are
Hurt people
Hurt people
But love will heal our hearts
We carry all our bitterness
And crave to know what better is
Compassion, just a little bit
Opens a mind, and changes it
Oh God, help me see now
Hurt people
Hurt people
Broken hearts
Break hearts
Life bruises unequal
Everyone fights a battle that's hard
Grace where grace is needed
No matter who you are
Hurt people
Hurt people
But love will heal our hearts
I'm sorry
For the way I've been
I'm sorry
For the words I said
And things I did
Forgive me
Hurt people
Hurt people
Broken hearts
Break hearts
Life bruises unequal
Everyone fights a battle that's hard
Grace where grace is needed
No matter who you are
Hurt people
Hurt people
But love will heal our hearts
(Hurt people, hurt people)
Love will heal our hearts
(Hurt people, hurt people)
Hurt people
Hurt people
But Love will heal our hearts
