I wish I could keep you from abusing yourself for no reason at all Counting backwards, things you endured Pitting them up against happier lives
That’s not the way to hurt me That’s not the way to hurt me I'll show you the way to hurt me
In search of a soft sound from another planet In search of a quiet place to lay this to rest Striving for goodness while the cruel men win There’s no part of me left that can feel or hear it
They’ll never let you hurt me They’ll never let you hurt me I’ll never let you hurt me (Hurt me)
