Hurting People
Rising Above the Pain: Julia Bhansali's Powerful Anthem on Breaking the Cycle
Lyrics
You don't get to decide
You don't have the authority to control my decisions.
How I live or I die
You have no say in whether I live or die.
You don't get to take my life
You cannot take away my life.
Just because you're empty inside
Just because you're emotionally void doesn't justify harming me.
You keep tryin' to tear me down
You persistently attempt to bring me down.
So that you feel better about yourself
You do this to boost your own self-esteem.
If I fell maybe you could soar
If I falter, perhaps you believe you could rise above.
And if I was less, you'd be more
If I were inferior, you think it would make you superior.
But let me tell you
Despite everything, let me inform you.
Hurting people hurt other people
People who are hurting themselves often inflict pain on others.
Hurting me won't heal you, it's deeper
Causing me harm won't bring healing to your own wounds; it runs deeper.
Than the hate you give to me
Deeper than the hatred you direct towards me.
And I hope that you find peace
I wish for you to find inner peace despite our conflicts.
You don't know who I am
You lack understanding of who I truly am.
Your words can't crumble my plans
Your words cannot disrupt my plans or goals.
But I have freedom, I have peace
Despite everything, I possess freedom and peace within.
To let you misunderstand
I am willing to let you misunderstand me without retaliation.
You keep tryin' to tear me down
You persistently attempt to bring me down (repeated).
So that you feel better about yourself
You do this to boost your own self-esteem (repeated).
If I fell maybe you could soar
If I falter, perhaps you believe you could rise above (repeated).
And if I was less, you'd be more
If I were inferior, you think it would make you superior (repeated).
But let me tell you
Despite everything, let me inform you (repeated).
Hurting people hurt other people
People who are hurting themselves often inflict pain on others (repeated).
Hurting me won't heal you, it's deeper
Causing me harm won't bring healing to your own wounds; it runs deeper (repeated).
Than the hate you give to me
Deeper than the hatred you direct towards me (repeated).
And I hope that you find peace
I wish for you to find inner peace despite our conflicts (repeated).
