I used to dream of a love so true A perfect world where hearts don't bruise
But then you came a perfect man With gentle hands and a sweet sweet plan
You whispered words so soft and kind But in your grip I lost my mind
What once was love turned into fear I didn't know I'd lose me here
Now I've become the hurt I knew Caught in a cycle just like you
I never saw it till I broke Abusing others like a joke
Oh can't you see, it's a vicious spin If we don't stop, where does it end
If you're being hurt, don't stay, don't bend Walk away, let the healing begin
I walked away, left you behind But something broke inside my mind
One man then two, I made them cry With every tear, I wondered why
It wasn't me, this wasn't me Till one day he looked up and screamed
I'm becoming you, can't you see? And in that moment, I felt the key
Now I've become the hurt I knew Caught in a cycle just like you
I never saw it till I broke Abusing others like a joke
Oh can't you see, it's a vicious spin If we don't stop, where does it end
If you're being hurt, don't stay, don't bend Walk away, let the healing begin
Don't let them change the heart you own Don't let them carve you out of stone
Be firm, be strong, don't fall, don't break Walk away before it's too late
Before the pain becomes your skin Before you lose what's deep within
Now I've become the hurt I knew Caught in a cycle just like you
I never saw it till I broke Abusing others like a joke
Oh can't you see, it's a vicious spin If we don't stop, where does it end
If you're being hurt, don't stay, don't bend Walk away, let the healing begin
So I'm calling out to you tonight Don't let love twist into a fight
If they hurt you, just walk away With your head held high, don't ever stay
Break the cycle, be free, be whole Don't let the pain take your soul
