Hurting Each Other

I love you
And you love me
One wrong word
And we disagree
Aren't we tired of
Taking cover
Why don't we stop
Hurting Each Other

You're the one
I look up to
No one else for me
No one else for you
No use to argue
When there's no other
Why don't we stop
Hurting Each other

There's nothing wrong with us
So let's quit making threats
Why all this fuss
Forgive and forget

I love you
And you love me
Let's quit this fighting
Let's have some peace
You hate my father
I hate your mother
Why don't we stop
Hurting Each Other

Hi Jim, this is something that most" married forever " couples can resonate with LOL. So much truth here.

I read an article today on 5 divorced women who learned a bitter lesson from their divorces, the one

thing in common was this....stop the small time bickering!

I will be divorced 30 years in September.  Said I would never marry again, but it gets lonely. 

Jim  this is as usual very good . the only nit is the flow on the last two lines - the hook  feels forced  i know you will have music and it will sound fine but i hear it as

why can't we stop

hurting each other

but as i said sure you have music and it works

It's none of my biscuit but you have something nice going her Jim I would definitely pull out the 'Why don't we stop hurting each other' hook and make a bigger deal out of it in the chorus. Maybe like this,  if you like it it's yours.  I would drop it at the end each verse and keep it a surprise because it's a good one. This may cause a verse rewrite but you can do that or be happy to help ya.(no co-write BS) Just holler.

Why don't we stop.(pause)

Hurting each other

We both know

That we're in love

Why don't we stop.(pause)

Hurting each other

Good times together

Is what loves made of

(Just a guy trying to help)

Another good write from you, Jim. I like it but consider altering the last verse with hating the father and mother. Doesn't fit (to me). : )

Hey, Jim! If you have the chance come on down the road to writer's room. We'd love to review some of your lyrics there too!  : )

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!

Hi Jim,

great lyric. I love it. It seems to be quite simple but often it's difficult to write simple song with a nice flow and true message about a life.

Great one!

Hi Jim,

(There are good people on this site.)  I know that to be true otherwise I wouldn't be posting here. Did someone say that I thought otherwise?
