Hurt Somebody

[Verse 1]
I've been taking it slowly
I'm afraid to be lonely
Nobody told me
It's harder than I thought to tell the truth

It's gonna leave you in pieces
All alone with your demons
And I know that we need this
But I've been too afraid to follow through

[Chorus]
Hold me close and I won't leave
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody
So much to say but I don't speak
And I hate that I let you stop me
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody

[Verse 2]
I don't know where the time went
Stuck in the wrong mindset
I let the rules bend
When I know that all along they're made to break

You got me searching for reasons
To keep me from leaving
At night I have trouble breathing
I give myself another chance to stay

[Chorus]
Hold me close and I won't leave
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody
So much to say but I don't speak
And I hate that I let you stop me
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody

[Bridge]
One day before you know it you will see
All of the pain and all the irony
You'll feel the stinging and you'll think of me
Cuz it hurts when you hurt

[Chorus]
Hold me close and I won't leave
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody
So much to say but I don't speak
And I hate that I let you stop me
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody

Hold me close and I won't leave
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody
So much to say but I won't speak
And I hate that I let you stop me
Cuz it hurts when you hurt somebody!
