Don't Want To Hurt You

Talks about people who would rather hurt themselves than others.

Don't want to hurt you
Unless you give permission
Don't want to hurt you
unless you hurt me
that will only contribute to the cycle of violence
Don't want to hurt you
Would rather hurt myself
Thinking of leaving you
Don't want to tell you
Don't know what your reaction would be
And I don't want to harm you
I like you
But not many of my friends do
What do I do?
Don't want to hurt you.
They thinking you're hitting me
but I know you're not
I know the truth
You know it was me
we are always are worst enemies, after all.
You know it's my style, my flair, to damage myself rather than others
Because I know my limits,
very few.
Ah alas I say I will hang on because you are the first in a while to understand and acknowledge my existence
Don't want to hurt you
Maybe you can feel me because I can't feel myself.
