Story Behind The Song
A mentor of mine could take a lesson from this philosophy, " If you love someone don't push them away" It's hard to undo later and they are the ones that will be the foremost to remember you when life is over.

Lyrics
VERSE# 1:
I don't understand how someone that I've looked up to all these years
Won't keep in touch with family who's shared love laughter and tears
What does it say about someone who can leave all that behind
That's a piece to a puzzle that won't come together in my mind
CHORUS:
The people that you love shouldn't be the ones you hurt
They're the only ones that matter in the end
Pushing them away like a wrinkled shirt
Has an untidy message to send
You place yourself above
People that you love
VERSE# 2:
Every new day brings a promise to keep a chance to make a memory
Those who are near get closer that way isn't that how it should be
And when you find a moment alone with the memories you share
Doesn't it make you wonder if they even know that you care
CHORUS:
The people that you love shouldn't be the ones you hurt
They're the only ones that matter in the end
Pushing them away like a wrinkled shirt
Has an untidy message to send
You place yourself above
People that you love
BRIDGE:
Memories that never fade away
Are the ones that touch your heart
People close to you will stay
They will always play the biggest part
CHORUS:
The people that you love shouldn't be the ones you hurt
They're the only ones that matter in the end
Pushing them away like a wrinkled shirt
Has an untidy message to send
You place yourself above
People that you love
TAG: You place yourself above people that you love
