Hurt him
Hurt him to save him
Push him from hope
Let him learn to swim
Hurt him
Hurt him to save him
Give him some rope
Let him learn to trim
Hurt him
Hurt him to save him
Kick him down the slope
Maybe then he can feel
Hurt her
Hurt her to save her
Show her under your mask
The end at last

Inspired by heartache and a line from a favorite film, Moulin Rouge: hurt him to save him
“We’re creatures of the underworld, we can’t afford to love…”
