The Ones I Love The Most* Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sit in your car, wait in the dark
Radio is up and so is your guard
You don't know what to say
You're fakin' a smile, you say that you're fine
And maybe it'll all work out in time
You've always been good that way

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel like I've done this before
You're fighting your tears as I open the door
And you deserve much more

[Chorus]
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
And I watch you cry, 'cause I wasn't enough
Watch you disappearin' down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most

[Verse 2]
You told me your past
You hated your dad
And when you left college, couldn't wait to go back

'Cause you really trusted me
And what did I do? What did I do?
I built you up, abandoned you
And I'm too proud to say sorry
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel like I've done this before
You're fighting your tears as I open the door
And you deserve much more

[Chorus]
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
And I watch you cry, 'cause I wasn't enough
Watch you disappearin' down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most

[Bridge]
I didn't mean it, baby
I didn't think it all through
I didn't mean it, baby
Always ruin good things like you
I watched the life drain out of your eyes
And it's no surprise
It's no surprise

[Breakdown]
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
Now I watch you cry, 'cause I wasn't enough
I watch you disappearin' down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
[Chorus]
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
And I watch you cry, 'cause I wasn't enough
Watch you disappearin' down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most

[Outro]
Ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
