Hurt


 

 

Knife in the chest

Twist it in deep 

Now sit back boy

& Watch me bleed

See what you’ve done

The damage you’ve made

      I just hope it was worth

The cost that I've paid

Oh why did you do this

How could you hurt me so bad

You knew that I liked you

Still, you went and did THAT

Now you’ve broken my heart

When it still wasn’t whole

But you didn’t stop at that

You just had to crush my hope

So now I’m sitting in the ashes 

Of the fire that you built

Hoping you get crushed 

By the weight of your guilt

Cuz what you did to me 

I just didn’t deserve

You couldn’t even tell me

 Cuz  you didn’t have the nerve

So I ended up learning it 

From somebody else

Cuz you didn’t have the guts

To tell me yourself

So right now I’m just hoping

That one day this won’t hurt

And that you’re hurting just as badly

As this heart that you’ve burned
