I'm learning as I get older Everyone will bring you sorrow Whether it's sixty years down the road Six months, sixteen days, or tomorrow Eventually those you care for most Who claim they feel the same in return Will hurt you with words, actions, and decisions It's human nature as I have learned Our selfishness makes us monsters We all take a turn before we die Playing the villain in anothers story Regardless of the ways we try It's always the ones that love you the most That leave the deepest, worst, ugliest scars Then to pacify the pain we pass it along to the next We are imperfect; it's just how we are Yes everyone you know will cause damage They'll become reasons you put up high walls And are too afraid to let the outside world in Why you gradually stop answering calls   We all make mistakes, we all carry secrets We all find different ways to deal It is not the wound you inflict that matters But if you choose to run or stay to help it heal

We Are Only Human
I'm learning as I get older Everyone will bring you sorrow Whether it's sixty years down the road Six months, sixteen days, or tomorrow Eventually those you care for most Who claim they feel the same in return Will hurt you with words, actions, and decisions It's human nature as I have learned Our selfishness makes us monsters We all take a turn before we die Playing the villain in anothers story Regardless of the ways we try It's always the ones that love you the most That leave the deepest, worst, ugliest scars Then to pacify the pain we pass it along to the next We are imperfect; it's just how we are Yes everyone you know will cause damage They'll become reasons you put up high walls And are too afraid to let the outside world in Why you gradually stop answering calls   We all make mistakes, we all carry secrets We all find different ways to deal It is not the wound you inflict that matters But if you choose to run or stay to help it heal
We all eventually do wrong by those we love. It is what you do next that matters most.
