Suicide or cancer
Loss of child
Betrayal, deceit
How'd you not get bitter
When life kicks you in the teeth?

We must all get battered
Lose our trust and self belief
Find what really matters.

We're made of clay
Left long in the blaze
Fire makes us brittle
Gives us our shape
And all that remains
Two fragile flames
Dancing like jesus
Don't come without pain
See you later.

Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt

Some of us born monied
Some never make it to their feet
Some born lucky
Some born hopeless

We're made of clay
Left long in the blaze
Our heirs and graces
Melt them away
See you later
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broke open by the hurt
Broke open by the hurt

We all die
More than once
In this life
Butterfly
Lift, lift up
Show me your hard earned love
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broken by the hurt
Broke open by the hurt
Open by the hurt

We must die
More than once
In this life
Butterfly
Lift, lift up
Show me hard earned love
Broken By The Hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
Open by the hurt
