Our Hurt is Our Home

All lyrics written by Stephanie Gummelt.

not every loving thing looks noble 

it can look as hard as canyon stone 

not every loving touch made me tremble 

but every loving touch stains a sketch on our souls 

our souls 

I can't un-touch you 

I can't un-laugh

I can't un-want you 

but nothing's all I have 

and I can't hold your body 

without seeing my horizon alone 

my loving is leaving 

the gift we share is grieving 

and right now

our hurt is our home 

your hurt is my home 

our hurt is our home 

so I saw the moon o'er the horizon

but it wasn't just the glowing peaceful kind 

it was the kind of light that signals dark around us 

just to let me know that I can't protect your light

cuz the light went dark in me 

I don't want to un-touch you

I don't want to never laugh with you again

I can't un-want you 

but nothing's all I have 

and I can't hold your body 

without seeing my horizon alone 

my loving is leaving 

the gift we share is grieving 

and right now

our hurt is our home 

your hurt is my home 

our hurt is our home 

all along I tried 

to schedule the pain

and baby the highs 

but only God can fathom 

how the heart decides to decide
