I Get Hurt Sometimes

I get hurt sometimes.

And I’ll get stuck in line,

Waiting for the earth to change its mind.

But it left it’s child behind.

Cause it left me behind.

Keys on the table,

And clothes on the floor,

A jacket I forgot about,

Hanging on the door.

The word around in chaos,

As I’m curled up in a ball,

My arms wrapped around me,

And my back pressed to the wall.

It’s another day,

And I can’t breathe.

This pain I feel,

It just won’t leave.

I’m overwhelmed,

And overworked.

Behind my thoughts

This pain lurked.

I’m struggling in school

And at home too,

There’s nothing more here

For me to do.

Cause I get hurt sometimes,

No matter how hard I try,

To push it down, out of mind.

This pain I always find.

Yeah I get hurt sometimes.

And I’ll get stuck in line,

Waiting for the earth to change its mind.

But it left it’s child behind.

Cause it left me behind.

Yeah I get hurt sometimes,

But that’s okay, that’s alright.

I’ll just push it off

For another night.

Air bag in my face,

Dust in the air.

The scent of decay

That wasn’t always there.

The world around in chaos,

As I’m strapped to my seat.

The engine in my windshield,

Blasting it’s heat.

It’s another day,

And I can’t breathe.

This pain I feel,

It just won’t leave.

The inside of my chest,

Burns from the hit.

My head pounds in fear,

And it just won’t quit.

I’m struggling with the truth,

And all of the guilt,

Knowing all of the damage,

that needs to be rebuilt.

Cause I get hurt sometimes,

No matter how I try,

To push it down, out of mind.

This pain I always find.

Yeah I get hurt sometimes.

And I’ll get stuck in line,

Waiting for the earth to change its mind.

But it left it’s child behind.

Cause it left me behind.

Yeah I get hurt sometimes,

But that’s okay, that’s alright,

I’ll just push it off 

for another night.

But there’s no time that’s enough,

When all I stashed comes back up.

The tank is full,

The bottle explodes,

And all of the truth,

Begins to show.

I’m not okay, 

I’m not alright,

I can’t keep pushing it

To another night.

Cause I get hurt sometimes,

No matter how hard I try,

To push it down, out of mind.

This pain I always find.

Yeah I get hurt sometimes.

And I’ll get stuck in line,

Waiting for the earth to change its mind.

But it left it’s child behind.

Cause it left me behind.
