Gary Lyrics by Dave Hause

Blood Harmony

2021

[Verse 1]
Don't name him Gary
I knew a Gary in school
He tried so hard to be cool
But kids can be so cruel
When I knew Gary
He liked climbin' trees
But we were a hive of bees
We stung him mercilessly

[Verse 2]
Poor little Gary
You could see it when we would sting
He'd spin on his broken wing
Kids say the damndest things
When I knew Gary
He'd beat on his brother's face
Under that old staircase
Just to give him a taste

[Chorus]
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
I'm hopin' you kept your hеart open
Like a Christmas Eve soup kitchеn door
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
I hope you don't
I hope you don't hurt anymore

[Verse 3]
Maybe he's married
God, it would be such a relief
If somebody's givin' him love
Like we gave him all that grief
Yeah, but don't name him Gary
I know it's your grandpa's name
But kids can be so lame
I still feel so ashamed
I hope he don't
I hope he don't think I'm the same

[Chorus]
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
I'm hopin' you kept your heart open
Like a Christmas Eve soup kitchen door

[Bridge]
And maybe "sorry" for me now
Is like a cup of cold coffee
It's bitter and old and a little too late
But I'm tryin' to make right
The shit that we put on your plate, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt anymore
Hurt people hurt people
I hope you don't hurt
I hope you don't hurt anymore
