Sometimes the truth hurts/and sometimes I want to hide/sometimes my vision is clouded/with perceptions of what I thought love is/
I know that people are hurting/but they probably don’t want you to see what’s wrong/to be vulnerable is to be open/sometimes people tell us the truth in love/
other times they aren’t so tactful/it hurts me to see other people hurting/but I know I the ultimate healer/I need to open up/with my Lord/I need to spread the love/
but I don’t know what to share/it may just be an excuse/to stay in my little shell/I don’t like the feeling of pain/I only thought of myself/
when I thought I was the only one hurting/
Sometimes life is harder than I wanted it to be/and sometimes I let situations get the best of me/I need to give my hurt to you/
because it is then I remember the cross/and how much you suffered to bring me home/I tried to suppress the memory that I did that to you/
with my actions that weren’t of you/I tried to hide in the garden/I tried to cover up/thinking you would never find out/I know better now/
I want to give you my hurt/let you clean me from all the dirt/It hurts me to see how I hurt you and others/It hurts me how I made you cry/
I know there is healing in the cross/I know you will comfort me/when my heart is breaking/
It hurts sometimes/to hear you aren’t good enough/it hurts sometimes/to be broken down by words/it hurts my heart/to hear others talk smack about you/
then I remember that I matter/to the Creator of the Universe/the only one whose opinion really matters/It is hard to grasp the truth/
when the world feeds us a buffet of lies/I want to help others heal instead of hurt/I know it hurts to not know what love is/I don’t know my next step/
to my healing/but I know that you will never let me go/I try to get back up but I fall back down/again and again/but you keep picking me up and carrying me to safety/
