It hurts

It hurts

To know you’re not there for me

It hurts

To know you’re never going to be

It hurts

That you don’t understand

It hurts

That you can’t be what I need you to be

It hurts

That you cannot be one

It hurts

That I cannot confide in you like many can

It hurts

To know you’ll never stop with the poison that’s killing you

It hurts

That you abandoned us

It hurts

That you’d rather choose alcohol than us

It hurts

That you couldn’t understand because it has rotted your brain after all these years

It hurts

That you’ll never truly know either of us

It hurts

That you’ll never be there

It hurts

To know it’ll kill you someday

It hurts

That I don’t know you because of it

It hurts
