You Can't Hurt Me Now

Bonnie Prince Billy


Oh, I know everyone knows the trouble I have seen.
That's the thing about trouble,
You can love everyone as the eyes and ears to be where I have been.
You can have that heaven here and not wait for up above.

The more I feel myself,
the more alone I am.
Though you can't hurt me now,
I still feel love's plan.

I know everyone has the happiness I have.
That's the thing about happiness you can hold.
Everyone else has had the same of my own belly laugh.
That's the heaven here at hand that does not grow.

The more I feel myself,
the more you're close to me.
Though you can't hurt me now,
I still feel distant.

It don't have to be known someday.
Let's do it now and not let someday
get in the way.
