Even If It Hurts Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I made a whole list
Like maybe he'll change
Get better with age, don't doubt it
All of the what-ifs?
Echoed in my brain
What if I go insane without him?

[Pre-Chorus]
So I
Swore we were different
Fighting in the kitchen
Out of my mind
Now it's not your business
Who the hell I'm kissing

[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta learn to leave even if it hurts
Gotta pack your bags, close the door first
Build a brand new world when something don't work
And let the old one burn
Even if it hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yеah
Even if it hurts, if it even hurts
[Verse 2]
Thought I was happy
Confusе it with pain
Not really what I imagined
Without you around me
There's no dirty plates
No calling me names out of habit

[Pre-Chorus]
So I
Swore we were different
Fighting in the kitchen
Out of my mind
Now it's not your business
Who the hell I'm kissing

[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta learn to leave even if it hurts
Gotta pack your bags, close the door first
Build a brand new world when something don't work
And let the old one burn
Even if it hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Even if it hurts, if it even hurts
[Bridge]
I got tired of counting your excuses and the bruises
On my heart, turns out there's far too much I'm losing
Who knew it?

[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta learn to leave even if it hurts
Gotta pack your bags, close the door first
Build a brand new world when something don't work
And let the old one burn
Sometimes you gotta learn to leave even if it hurts
Gotta pack your bags, close the door first
Build a brand new world when something don't work
And let the old one burn
Even if it hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, yeah
Even if it hurts, if it even hurts
