does it take the hurt away
when you push out everyone
who is trying to help
who is trying to show you
your worth

does it take the hurt away
when you shut down your emotions
and are determined
to show everyone
because *()# you that’s why

does it take the hurt away
to show everyone that you know best
that the love that they have for you
is so much dust to be
swept away

Does it take the hurt away
when you forsake all of your dreams
all of the joy I used to see
for the empty promises
and lies

Does it take the hurt away
to know, somewhere in the fear of success
that hides the reality from your heart
to know that no matter what
I will always be here
