I wish I knew then
Now what I am seeing
I kicked you while you were down
And opened up your wounds while you were bleeding
And I'm sorry I was so blind
But now I see it
I told them your story
While you were grieving

It was easy for me to blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't take the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I didn't mean to
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

And I wish I knew then
What I've been replaying
I always did my best to try
And be your savior
You needed the space
And I just couldn't take it
Now I know it wasn't just mine
That you're breaking

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't face the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I didn't mean to
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't face the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I thought you were bulletproof
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds
