EVERY TIME THAT I HURT YOU

Every time that I hurt you

it hurts inside my chest

and every time that I hurt you

it brings tears into my eyes.

So every time that I hurt you

I look away so you don't see

that every time that I hurt you

I cry because I can't be

that one who makes you smile

and that one that doesn't hurt you.

For every time that I hurt you

I wish that I didn't exist

and wish that I could run

through the fabrics of space and time

out past the stars we know

so far that they cease to shine

and so far that I could cease to be,

so far that I would no longer have to be

the one that every time, I hurt you

when all I want to do is love you.
