Hurt me louder

[Verse 1]
You said it’s “just a joke”
Teeth behind that crooked grin
Every word a little cut
Every day
A thinner skin
Kick me when I start to stand
Laugh it off
“you’re way too soft”
I learned to bleed in silence
You just call it “shaking off”
[Chorus]
Hurt me louder
Say it so the walls all shake
Tear me down
Then ask me
Why I break
Carve your name
In all the places that I ache
Hurt me louder
Till you choke on what you made
[Verse 2]
You turn my scars to stories
Tell them like you earned them all
I was the one that shattered
You just framed the broken wall
Call me weak for feeling
Call it “truth” when you’re just cruel
Funny how you’re terrified
I might live beyond your rules
[Chorus]
Hurt me louder
Say it so the walls all shake
Tear me down
Then ask me
Why I break
Carve your name
In all the places that I ache
Hurt me louder
Till you choke on what you made
[Bridge]
I bit my tongue till it tasted rust (hey!)
Now every word is sharpening up
You built a throne on top of my trust
Watch it collapse when I’ve had enough
[Chorus]
Hurt me louder
Say it so the walls all shake
Tear me down
Then ask me
Why I break
Carve your name
In all the places that I ache
Hurt me louder
I’m the storm you helped create
