I'd Never Hurt Again Poem by Kelly Boutin

(Chorus)
If I could hold you next to me,
if I could touch your skin,
if I could hold you next to me,
I'd never hurt again.

If you were there when I was young,
I never would've died,
if you were there when I was born,
I never would've cried.

If you'd held me next to you
when I was all alone,
if I could've trusted you,
I would've had a home.

If I could've trusted you,
and held you by my side,
if I could've loved you,
I never would've died.

But, (Repeat Chorus)

If you had been there for me
and I could've held you tight,
if you had taught me to believe,
I never would've cried.

But, (Repeat Chorus)

Oh, if you were there when I was young,
alone on the beach,
if I had had you to trust,
I never would've grieved.

If I'd never been left all alone,
if you'd picked me up,
I would've never broke,
if I had had your love.

But, (Repeat Chorus)

If I could hold you next to me,
I'd never hurt again.
