I hurt too
Tears streaming down your cheeks,
My own hands wet from wiping away mine.
Eyes sad… heads shaking…
How could we have gotten this so wrong?
Our dreams, our wants, our plans,
We miscalculated
We misunderstood
We misheard
Each Other's wants, each other's needs
We forgot that when we get angry… we’re supposed to count to three.
The tensions built, the burdens grew
And we snapped almost perfectly into two.
So now we regroup, take a step back
We take a look at the last few weeks and agree- we don't want that.
We aren't interested in the struggle and pain
Of constantly throwing each other into the flame
No, no, we promised to love and to cherish
We promised to strive to thrive and to flourish
We knew it was gonna be hard, but no more of this painful competition
We don’t need to compete about who hurt who
About who said what that wasn’t true
We don’t need to argue about what struggle hurts more
I’m sorry
I’m sorry I lost sight of what’s important
I’m sorry I stopped
Stopped trying to see what it was you need
Sorry I got so caught up in my own shit that i didn’t realize
That you- you were right there next to me
Taking the punches, and drowning in all life had to offer
We sank together, but this ain’t over
Cause together… together we will rise
We’re gonna jump over these hurdles and
Together we’ll help change those lies
The lies we told ourselves so late at night feeling nothing but the pain of this life.
Cause I love you too much to let you hurt alone
No, love, I refuse to let you carry this hurt on your own.
Here- let me take a little of yours
You can take some of mine too.
Together, together we can do this
Together we can get through.
Cause yeah this life ain’t easy,
Yeah our hearts are a little dazed and confused
But baby, don’t you know?
I hurt too.
And I love you.
But because I love you I’m here for you
And We’ll work through this together
Till all those wounds become scars
Till we can look back and marvel at how
We made it this far.
