The Awkward Stage’s “I Hurt the Ones That Love Me”

The Awkward Stage continues to defy my best attempts at classification.

I got no friends, as I have lost them
Down the steepest ridges I have tossed them
I burned our bridges while we crossed them
I got no friends, as I have lost them

Been an angry baby all of my life
Sharpened my tongue just like a knife
Have anger fantasies all night
Keep the angry baby from sleeping right

I hurt the ones who love me cuz you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
They look at me and seem to see complexity you won’t
I hurt the ones that love me cuz you don’t, you don’t, you don’t

No one can hurt you like your friends
Let down your guard and they’ll get in
Their ammunition never ends
No one can hurt you like your friends

Fear and anger, baby, that’s what I got
Fear and anger, baby, that’s all I’ve got
