They say hurt people, hurt people
But I didn't feel the weight of that statement until recently.
I often talk about the pain you caused me.
Conveniently,
I took the spotlight off of you and put it on me.
Selfishly.
You left my heart in pieces but I bruised yours a couple times too.
I was confused to say the least, so I walked in and out of your life as I pleased
Thinking I was doing what was best for me.
I tied strings around your heart and tugged when it was convenient for me.
I wasn't always kind
I was selfish
I was blind.
I didn't do it deliberately
I was too focused on how you hurt me.
If I'm going to tell our story, I have to tell it accurately.
It was complicated and the details were unclear,
Like your vision when your eyes are full of tears
Like when you're left hand drags along the paper and messes up the words.
Yeah, you hurt me but I hurt you too
My pretty girl with brown eyes, I forgive you.
I hope you can forgive me too
