Why Does It Hurt

[Verse 1]
3 AM, I was lying awake and I saw your eyes catch mine
But you kept on pretending that you were asleep
And I knew it was over
You held my hand a little less convincingly for the rest of the night
And in the morning you were acting fuckin' distant
And I knew it was over

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's for the best
But it don't hurt any less

[Chorus]
Baby tonight, you lost what you don't deserve
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt, why does it hurt?
I would be fine if I got to end it first
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt, why does it hurt?
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt?

[Verse 2]
Truth is I had this feeling inside
Telling me you weren't the one for me the whole damn time
But I didn't leave 'til you said it was over
'Cause I didn't wanna be one of those people who just moves on
To the next best thing when the next best thing comes along
'Til you said it was over

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's for the best
But it don't hurt any less

[Chorus]
Baby tonight, you lost what you don't deserve
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt, why does it hurt?
I would be fine if I got to end it first
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt, why does it hurt?
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt?

[Bridge]
Ego and power and control
Making me captive in their hold
I would be fine if I let go
Let go, let go
Ego and power and control
Making me captive in their hold
I would be better without you
So tell me why I'm hurt

[Chorus]
Baby tonight, you lost what you don't deserve
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt, why does it hurt? (No)
I would be fine if I got to end it first
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt, why does it hurt?
So somebody tell me
Why does it hurt?

[Outro]
(Why does it hurt, why does it hurt?)
