Love The Way It Hurts

[Verse 1]
Gathered 'round the table on your birthday
Your feet in conversation with my shoes
Might have been 'bout fifteen other people
But for me it was just me and you
Maybe you're the tide and I'm the water
Your feelings tend to come and go somehow
Wish that I could hold you like I used to
But we both know things are different now

[Chorus]
I could leave, but I love the way it hurts
When you're saying these words you no longer mean
And it's not me, it never was, I'll never be
But I'd rather stay blind until you force me to see, ooh, mm

[Verse 2]
Hoped that I would never see the sun fade
Every night it traps into the sea
Maybe in the morning when it rises
We'll be back where we once were, suddenly, ooh

[Chorus]
And I could leave, but I love the way it hurts
When you're saying these words you no longer mean
And it's not me, it never was, I'll never be
But I'd rather stay blind until you force me to see, ooh

[Bridge]
And finally, it's clear to see
That I never know what the future holds
And it might be make-believe
But at least I know that I held you close

[Chorus]
And I could leave, but I love the way it hurts
When you're saying these words you no longer mean
And it's not me, it never was, I'll never be
But I'd rather stay blind until you force me to see, ooh
And I could leave, but I love the way it hurts
When you're saying these words you no longer mean, mm
And it's not me, it never was, I'll never be
But I'd rather stay blind until you force me to see
No, I'd rather stay blind until you force me to see, mm

[Outro]
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
