Be Hurt

I know, you made a big mistake
You left a lot of damage
Floating in the wake
Though your actions were unwise
You'll still see the sunrise
Be hurt
The world can take it
And so can you
Come on, be hurt
You know that you can take it
I'm not gonna let it destroy you
Look here, you're more than your mistakes
It's just how it goes sometimes
Your heart may have to break
Though it feels like it's the end
You can't see around the bend
Be hurt
The world can take it
And so can you
Come on, be hurt
You know that you can take it
I'm not gonna let it destroy you
I know, you think you've lost your way
You need a lot of courage
To face another day
As you stumble through the night
Know you're gonna win the fight
Come on, be hurt
The world can take it
And so can you
I know it I do
Come on, be hurt
You know that you can take it
I'm not gonna let it destroy you
Come on, be hurt
It's alright
I'm not gonna let it destroy you
