The Ones Who've Hurt You - Aurelio Voltaire

The hymns and the lies

And the things that they did

Have created a rift in your heart

And it’s too wide to spend

I am only one man

And my efforts have torn us apart

I gave you all that a lover could give

And yet you couldn’t let me inside

You said that you care

That the feelings were there

But behind a wall where they hide

And I don’t know what more I could have done

To heal your heart

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

I want to really make them pay

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

For stealing our chance at love away

I gave you a ring and I wrote you a song

And I tattoo’d your heart on my hand

And then I looked in your eyes

And hoped for a sign

That you loved your man

I sang of our love

From the tops of the trees

And I wrote both our names in the sky

Yet on the face of a brook

You advanced all the rooks

Yet you left your king to die

And I don’t know what more I could have done

To heal your heart

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

I want to really make them pay

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

For stealing our chance at love away

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

I want to dearly make them pay

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

For stealing our chance at love away

So I suppose this is really goodbye

God I hope that you saw how I tried

And I envy the man, who’ll be holding your hand

On that day your demons die

I wish you all that love has to give

It’s around you just all of the time

Cause love is a thing

Like a bird on the wing

Once you break that cage inside

And I don’t know what more I could have done

To heal your heart

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

I want to really make them pay

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

For stealing our chance at love away

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

I want to kill them with a rage

I want to hurt the ones who’ve hurt you

For making you this way
