​hurt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always feel blue
And you're like a wave of Beatles songs and yesterdays
Or Central Park on Saturdays, my happy place (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
I turned out the lights
I listened to you, breathin' on me low and sweet
It's the only place I wanna be and it's scarin' me (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I tried
I didn't wanna fall like this
You made me risk it all like this
'Cause you, yeah, you knew
You knew that I'd break easily
So you could take a piece of me

[Chorus]
You make me high
You make me cry
Keepin' me up all night in the fire
Don't think my arms could hold any tightеr
You make me sink
What do I do with this?
Loving you is the bеst and the worst
Why does somethin' so beautiful hurt?
[Verse 2]
My head's in a fog
And you're rollin' in, smellin' like a memory
Of some place that I've never been and you're sinkin' in (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I lied
When I said I wouldn't fall like this
Love shouldn't be at all like this
Why do I
Let you take me all the way?
You kill me with the love we make

[Chorus]
You make me high
You make me cry
Keepin' me up all night in the fire
Don't think my arms could hold any tighter
You make me sink
What do I do with this?
Loving you is the best and the worst
Why does somethin' so beautiful hurt?

[Bridge]
Why does love and pain feel like
The same when I'm with you?
[Chorus]
You make me high
You make me cry
Keepin' me up all night in the fire
Don't think my arms could hold any tighter
You make me sink
What do I do with this?
Loving you is the best and the worst
Why does somethin' so beautiful hurt?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]
