People Hurt People

I’d rather show you how I feel
It’s in the way I look at you
And in the way I touch you
Don’t you see
I will be there to hold you
My feelings are for real
But you need to trust in me
I wanna love you
Like I loved the first time
I wanna live
As if I’d never been hurt
I wanna trust again
But I am a burnt child
You know people hurt people
It’s nothing new
And I can only do my best
Please don’t take the blame on you
Was hurt before we met
I can be there to hold you
My feelings are for real
But don’t demand these words from me
Because they don’t come for free
I wanna love you
Like I loved the first time
I wanna live
As if I’d never been hurt
I wanna trust again
But I am a burnt child
You know people hurt people
I wanna love you
Like I loved the first time
I wanna live
As if I’d never been hurt
I wanna trust again
But I am a burnt child
You know people hurt people
Love is something
You feel
And you do
Love is someting
That grows in you
I wanna love you
Like I loved the first time
I wanna live
As if I’d never been hurt
I wanna trust again
But I am a burnt child
You know people hurt people
It’s nothing new
It’s nothing new
And I can only do my best
