The worst is over, the pain is gone
Christ has healed me, but your tongue is strong
How can I just stand here
And let you just walk all over me

I've come too far now to turn around
My bones are breaking, but you love the sound
Why whisper you hate me
Your silent war seems loud enough to scream

I never thought you'd hurt me
I never thought I'd bleed
I never thought you'd do this to me
Try to understand this
Try to be my friend
And love me with the love that never ends

Bound by insult and told to change
Accept the difference, 'cause I'm not the same
How can I just stand here
And let you just walk all over me

I never thought you'd hurt me
I never thought I'd bleed
I never thought you'd do this to me
Try to understand this
Try to be my friend
And love me with the love that never ends

This time
My mind 
Won't die, yeah 

I never thought you'd hurt me
I never thought I'd bleed
I never thought you'd do this to me
Try to understand this
Try to be my friend
And love me with the love 

I never thought you'd hurt me
I never thought I'd bleed
I never thought you'd do this to me
Try to understand this
Try to be my friend
And love me with the love that never ends
