If It Hurts

It’s my fault again, it always is
Twist around my words, so they don’t make sense
It’s so complicating
You rope me in, then manipulate me
Up at three AM, I haven’t heard from you
Imagine if I did these things to you
Now I’m contemplating
Is our love on fire fading?
Can you tell me how?
How is this supposed to work, if it hurts
If it hurts, if it hurts
When I try to use the words to explain
But it just makes it worse
I tried and I tried to trust
I gave and I gave but it wasn’t enough
For what it’s worth, how can I love you if it hurts?
You found my weakest spots and dig in deep
Show up with someone new just so I can see
I act out pathetic
Told you it hurts but you still don’t get it
I used to think certain things bother me more than they should
But then I realized you just make me feel misunderstood
If love is pain and pain is real
Baby, if for once you’ll feel
How this will never work, if it hurts
If it hurts, if it hurts
When I try to use the words to explain
But it just makes it worse
I tried and I tried to trust
I gave and I gave but it wasn’t enough
For what it’s worth, how can I love you if it hurts?
I couldn’t stop myself from falling for you
You turned into someone else, I wish I knew
It was never gonna work, if it hurts
If it hurts, if it hurts
When I try to use the words to explain
But it just makes it worse
I tried and I tried to trust
I gave and I gave but it wasn’t enough
For what it’s worth, how can I love you if it hurts?
