Hurt someone

Let them know you love them

Find some fault

Pull them close and hug them


Mindy walked to the store

To buy herself something nice

While everything was falling apart

I don't speak in superlatives she said to herself

As she entered the sliding doors

Every thought she could think

Every feeling she felt

Every second that passed her by

Drew her to a conclusion she struggled to carry 

Under weight of passing by

Of falling out

Of losing peace

Of feeling felt

Of being heard

But not for long

But not for long

But not for long

But not for long


Hurt someone

Let them know you love them

Find some fault

Pull them close and hug them


Mindy looked to the sky

And put a hand on her chest

But couldn't find a cloud in sight

I don't think in superlatives she thought to herself

Looking into fluorescent light

Anything she would say

Everything she could tell

Every moment that held her high

Drew her to a conclusion she couldn't deny

About the love

About the way she feels inside

About the hurt and what is right 

And what is real

But not for long

But not for long

But not for long
