You Don’t Have to Hurt

You don't have to hurt this holiday

You have ev'ry right to stay away

There is someone out there who will love you for you

You don't have to do a thing that you don't wanna do

You don't have to go where you're alone

A place where they hurt you shouldn't be a place called home

Now is not the time to sit and stay

You don't have to hurt this holiday

You don't have to hurt this holiday

You don't have to listen to the hurtful things they say

No one has a right to bring you down

Know that if they hurt you, you don't have to stick around

Holidays are meant for joy and cheer

You don't have to go a place you fear

Bringing others down is not okay

You don't have to hurt this holiday

You don't have to hurt this holiday

Putting all your feelings on display

You have nothing you should have to hide

No one should be asking for you to take a side

You don't have to walk into a fight

If staying out will keep you safe, you have ev'ry right

You don't have a thing to repay

You don't have to hurt this holiday
