sometimes we hurt those we love without even trying, and can't understand why...
that's when you're done
the feeling sinks in, and you can't win
you can try as you might
the feeling won't shake, and you won't rest
it starts like a fire, small and bright
embers licking at the distorted night
it will surely grow, as you will know
a smoldering inferno

and it hurts everything you love
you're just hurting everything you love

that's when you done
the feeling chimes in, calls on your sin
play it off like nothing
the feeling screams out, demanding attention
it starts like a fire, healthy and warm
flames making us feel like we're not so torn
it will surely grow, as you will know
it turns into a vicious volcano

and it hurts everything you love
you're just hurting everything you love

you're such a skeleton, hurting all those you love
