The Hurting

i’ve been stabbed

i’ve been bludgeoned

i’ve been beaten within

an inch of my life

and none of that hurt

like this does now

and none of that

compares

to everything i did to you

and none of that

comes close

to the hell

i put you through

i’ve been electrocuted

held down and rooted

i struggled and screamed

i was burnt on the outside

i was torn on the inside

that hurt a lot, but nothing like this

and none of that

compares

to the hurting

i’ve put on you

and none of that

comes close

cause you said

that we were through

i’ve been hit by a car

i’ve been set on fire

i’ve sported many a broken bone

but nothing hurts

like watching you leave

leaving me all alone

and none of that

compares

to the hurting

i’ve put you through

and none of that

can hold a candle

if there is

no me and you
