I Was Trained To Hurt

 Track 1 "I Was Trained To Hurt People"

(Verse 1)

I was born in the shadows, taught to fight in the dark,

They told me to silence my heart, leave a permanent mark.

With every word, every move, a lesson learned in pain,

Had to hide every tear, like the scars on my brain.

(Pre-Chorus)

They said, "You don't need love, just strength in your hands,"

So I built walls around me, turned cold like the sand.

No room for mercy, no place for grace,

I was trained to hurt, not to embrace.

(Chorus)

I was trained to hurt people, break hearts like glass,

Never shown the meaning of love that would last.

Pushed to the edge, where the darkness resides,

Now I'm searching for light, but it's buried inside.

(Verse 2)

They shaped me with anger, shaped me with fear,

Taught me that kindness was weakness, not something to hear.

Every strike, every word, a tool to survive,

But now I wonder how much of me’s left alive.

(Pre-Chorus)

They said, "You don't need love, just strength in your hands,"

So I built walls around me, turned cold like the sand.

No room for mercy, no place for grace,

I was trained to hurt, not to embrace.

(Chorus)

I was trained to hurt people, break hearts like glass,

Never shown the meaning of love that would last.

Pushed to the edge, where the darkness resides,

Now I'm searching for light, but it's buried inside.

(Bridge)

Now I see the cracks, the hurt that I’ve caused,

In the mirror, I face what I lost.

Is there redemption or is it too late?

Can I learn to love before it's too late?

(Chorus)

I was trained to hurt people, break hearts like glass,

Never shown the meaning of love that would last.

Pushed to the edge, where the darkness resides,

Now I'm searching for light, but it's buried inside.

(Outro)

I was trained to hurt, but I’m learning to heal,

Maybe love’s the answer, maybe it’s real.

Breaking the chains that I thought would define,

Trying to find the peace that’s been hidden behind.
