Old Joy - The Hurt We Know Lyrics

Cut another thread to the ties that bind
The fabric of our life is frayed
Darkness is the light to the blind
And a heart in pain must feel its way

All I wanted was to say good bye
To wrap you in my arms one more time
Was it Pain or pride, I can't decide
Who built the wall and turned the tide

We don't know the seeds we sow
We don't know each other's souls
We just know the hurt we know
And how to cry if we can't let it go

A father's pain is no mother's gain
And sons and daughters don't cry as one
Tears all fall down just the same
When we want love and there is none

Wind is rattling through my window broken
Blowing to a silent destiny
All the words that we have spoken
That didn't save us or me

Dreams die easy when we fail to speak
Love to those we hold close
It's a cold wind stings the other cheek
If hearts don't share what they know

We don't know the seeds we sow
We don't know each other's souls
We just know the hurt we know
And we cry if we can't let it go

And we cry if we can't let it go
Can we let it go?
