Does This Hurt

[Verse 1]
Does this hurt?
One can't be sure
Could you give us a smile?

Always eager to go first
Now, you seem uncertain
Stunned into silence

Hey, I thought I knew you
Hey, look what we did to a partnership proven over and over
Hold it to the light
Stop the bleeding
We might catch a peek at the truth

[Chorus]
Peeling back the skin to see into the problem
Cuttin' through the crust to reach the core
Handy with a blade
Have we made a mistake tonight?
Digging for more, let it flow, start the show
Honey, you got the floor

[Verse 2]
Lesson to bе learned
You can fight off the burn of curiosity's flamе
Sit at tables as they turn
Reap rewards that you earn
Without inflicting great pain on someone

Hey, I tried to reach you
Hey, I tried to teach you lessons
You mastered 'em over and over
Try to make a fist
I can bandage your wrist
If you say we're okay

[Chorus]
Peeling back the skin to see into the problem
Cuttin' through the crust to reach the core
Handy with a blade
Have we made a mistake tonight?
Digging for more, let it flow, start the show
Honey, you got the floor

[Verse 3]
One more stitch and it's done
Fair price for trusting in someone
This honest life can be fun
Sometimes you simply gotta take to learn
What you knew all along

Does this hurt? (Hey, I thought I knew you)
Does this hurt? (Hey, I thought I knew you)
Does this hurt? (Hey, I thought I knew you)
Does this hurt? (Look at all that I did to you)

[Chorus]
Peeling back the skin to see into the problem
Cuttin' through the crust to reach the core
Handy with a blade
Have we made a mistake tonight?
Digging for more, let it flow, start the show
Honey, you got the floor
