how not to hurt you

what do i know

about letting go

what do i see

in you not with me

that entices me so

so here's another tuesday

telling you the truth way

harsher than i should

wasn't my intention

to list your imperfections

but now that we're here

think i'll just let it flow

i don't know how not to hurt you

these verbal wounds cut deep into you

ooh-ooh

why's it so hard to soften the blow

of breaking your heart

i'm falling apart

but i don't know how not to hurt you

oh

oh

what do you i do

about no longer needing you

affectionately

oh

your heart of gold

and i'm treating you so cold

unintentionally

mmh

yeah

so here's another tuesday

wishing that my mind has changed

but i'd still rather be alone

tallied up another one

broke your heart and had fun

i'm looking forward to the goodbye

i don't know how not to hurt you

these verbal wounds cut deep into you

hey-hey

yeah

why's it so hard to soften the blow

of breaking your heart

i'm falling apart

but i don't know how not to hurt you

hey-hey

ooh

who am i to think i know

what's best for you

what's best for you

changing my mind

taking you on a ride

but from time to time

i want our bodies to align

ooh

i don't know how not to hurt you

don't know

don't know

don't know

why's it so hard to soften the blow

of breaking your heart

i'm falling apart

but i don't know how not to hurt you

ooh

oh

i don't know how not to hurt you
