They say the things that love you will never stay
Is that really true?
I guess you made everyone leave before they could hurt you
But who taught this to you?
Hurting people will always be hurting people
It was you that made me me
Every storm made me soak to find stronger roots, yeah
I am reminded, I am reminded
All my roots are starting to show yet I’m still trying to grow
And I am reminded, I am reminded there is still hope
And I hope one day you will understand pain is just a brand
I’ve given my life to keep it away from your skin
And I hope one day you will understand pain is never planned
And the start of a cycle is always the end
When we are the victims
And that’s how I know I need to write about this for you
The youth that never get told the truth
That’s my problem, I’ve got intentions on both sides
Stitched together with lies and more songs left to write
Do things, write this time
About how to untangle all the knots that we kept tied
My stomach is weak because you made me me
And someone made you you
We are the victims
And I am the hope
And I hope one day you will understand pain is just a brand
I’ve given my life to keep it away from your skin
And I hope one day you will understand pain is never planned
And the start of a cycle is always the end
When we are the victims
You, you are the victim
And I am still learning
Till I can be the hope
