The Script Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A big man like him better leave my girl alone
Listen, baby, we can get out of here
You can take my car and drive away all your fears
Don't you worry, I
Know just how you feel
You've been hurt before
Hurt people, they hurt people
Is it ever gonna stop?
Hurt people, they hurt people
So give me everything you've got
You might get lost, but you're no loser
And you might get used, but you're no user
And we ask ourselves, what are we doing?
But I stick by you, 'cause there's no choosing
Oh, no, don't you worry, I
Know just how you feel
I've been hurt before
Baby, hurt people, they hurt people
Is it ever gonna stop?
Hurt people, they hurt people
So give me everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Some born with a blessing, some born with a curse
Some have it better, yeah, some have it worse
Some are thinking forward but they have it in reverse
No matter how bad it gets, it can always get worse
Some people lie for it
Some people even die for it
They would take your f-in' life for it
Some people pay the man in the sky for it
You measure the heart by the size of the man
I measure the man by the size of the heart
We ain't perfect, this is who we are
Help me see the light in the dark
Hurt people, they hurt people (yeah)
Is it ever gonna stop? (ever gonna stop?)
Hurt people, they hurt people
So give me everything you've got (everything that you've got)
Give me everything, everything you got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got
Give me everything, everything you've got

You take it out on me 'cause you got troubles at home
You project your frustrations onto me because you have unresolved issues in your personal life
A big man like him better leave my girl alone
That guy should stay away from my girlfriend if he knows what's good for him
Listen, baby, we can get out of here
Hey, darling, we have the option to escape from this situation
You can take my car and drive away all your fears
You can use my car as a means to leave behind all your worries and anxieties
Don't you worry, I
Know just how you feel
You've been hurt before
Don't fret, I understand your emotions completely
You've experienced pain in the past
Hurt people, they hurt people
Is it ever gonna stop?
Those who have been hurt tend to inflict pain onto others
Will this cycle of hurt ever end?
So give me everything you've got
Therefore, give me your complete effort and dedication
You might get lost, but you're no loser
You may feel directionless at times, but that doesn't make you a failure
And you might get used, but you're no user
Others might take advantage of you, but you're not one to exploit others
And we ask ourselves, what are we doing?
And we question our actions and motivations
But I stick by you, 'cause there's no choosing
Nevertheless, I remain loyal to you because I don't have a choice
Some born with a blessing, some born with a curse
Life starts differently for everyone, some with fortunate circumstances and others with unfortunate ones
Some have it better, yeah, some have it worse
Some individuals enjoy more favorable lives, while others face more adversity
No matter how bad it gets, it can always get worse
No matter how dire the situation appears, it has the potential to worsen
Some people lie for it
Certain individuals deceive others in pursuit of their desires
Some people even die for it
Some people are willing to sacrifice their lives for their desires
They would take your f-in' life for it
They would go to extreme lengths, even ending someone's life, for their desires
Some people pay the man in the sky for it
Some individuals offer payment or make offerings to a higher power in exchange for their desires
You measure the heart by the size of the man
You judge someone's character based on their compassion and empathy
I measure the man by the size of the heart
I evaluate someone's worth based on the goodness and kindness they possess
We ain't perfect, this is who we are
We are flawed and imperfect beings, and that is our true essence
Help me see the light in the dark
Assist me in finding positivity and hope amidst difficult times
Give me everything, everything you've got
Provide me with everything you are capable of giving
