Hurt
03:40

I give up, I lay down and let myself fall.
I'm broken it seems.
You burned me, I fear my body can't take much more.
I'm drowning in your seas.
I feel you pulling me down
and I can't hold on.
I know you know you've hurt me,
I slip and fall.
And one day when you're lost and trapped
just know that I won't have your back.
I hope it hurts
and I hope you bleed.
I hope you feel it even worse than me.
It might be wrong
but don't you see?
You don't deserve anyone's sympathy.
I hope one day
everyone else can see
Past all these lies.
To the monster that you hide beneath.
I hope that you hurt the way that you hurt me.
I was climbing and at one time
I thought that you would help me up.
But it turns out I'm a fool.
I helped you and you used me
until you had used me up.
Then you cut that rope clean through.
I feel you pulling me down
and I can't hold on.
I know you know you've hurt me,
I slip and fall.
And one day when you're lost and trapped
just know that I won't have your back.
I hope it hurts
and I hope you bleed.
I hope you feel it even worse than me.
It might be wrong
but don't you see?
You don't deserve anyone's sympathy.
I hope one day
everyone else can see
Past all these lies.
To the monster that you hide beneath.
I hope that you hurt the way that you hurt me.
Although I may still be hurting,
deep down I'm still quite glad.
That I found out what this really was
and learnt from my past.
If there's one thing that you get from this
is that one day it will all turn bad.
When the world finally turns against you...
Then you better watch your back.
I hope it hurts
and I hope you bleed.
I hope you feel it even worse than me.
It might be wrong
but don't you see?
You don't deserve anyone's sympathy.
I hope one day
everyone else can see
Past all these lies.
To the monster that you hide beneath.
I hope that you hurt the way that you hurt me.

Broken

I've been sitting, watching you grow as I just stay the same.
I'm starting to think that I'm going nowhere fast.
I feel the pressure building and falling upon me - I'm buried, how?
This isn't a game that I'm playing, oh it's time to end this now.
How can I move forward
when I'm still holding onto this?
Oh it's time for me to say this...
You won't leave me broken.
I couldn't stop feeling
like I didn't know what to do anymore.
I couldn't stop hoping that you would come
walking right back through that door.
But I'm gonna work hard,
I'm not gonna give up on this dream.
Because right from the start
you were the one that needed me.
You won't leave me broken.
And I can't stop thinking,
where should I go next from here?
And as I watch you I can't help but wonder,
why good things happen to people like you.
My thoughts are so far ahead of me... It's so hard to be patient.
But I never needed you so don't think I do now.
You think you know all that I can do.
But you've never been so wrong.
Oh it's time for me to say this...
You won't leave me broken.
I couldn't stop feeling
like I didn't know what to do anymore.
I couldn't stop hoping that you would come
walking right back through that door.
But I'm gonna work hard,
I'm not gonna give up on this dream.
Because right from the start
you were the one that needed me.
You won't leave me broken.
You don't have any say in what I do or who I am X4
(No oh you won't leave me broken X8)
I couldn't stop feeling
like I didn't know what to do anymore.
I couldn't stop hoping that you would come
walking right back through that door.
But I'm gonna work hard,
I'm not gonna give up on this dream.
Because right from the start
you were the one that needed me.
You won't leave me broken.

Lately you’ve been seeming so down.
I just wanna make you smile.
Don’t you know?
It’s perfect when you do.
Lately It’s getting harder to lose that frown.
I’m thinking back to that time when I was just getting close to you.
When I think back to that time,
Oh the girl I used to know.
Oh the one I fell in love with.
Where’s she gone?
Because I need her back tonight
and back then I said…
Hey! You know summers almost ending,
winters nearly here
and this might be our last night to spend like this.
So put your arms around me and we’ll stay up tonight.
We don’t need no sleep no
Darling don’t you see.
Wake up, next day, memories blurring through my head.
How the hell did I get in this tent?
I look across and see you next to me and now I’m feeling alright oh
Darling why can’t you see?
We could go back to that time,
You’re still the girl I used to know.
Oh the one I fell in love with.
So are you coming back?
Cause I need you back tonight and I said…
Hey! You know summers almost ending,
winters nearly here
and this might be our last night to spend like this.
So put your arms around me and we’ll stay up tonight.
We don’t need no sleep no
Darling don’t you see.
Darling don’t you see.
So darling are you coming back?
I really need you.
Darling are you coming back tonight?
X4
I said Hey! Come home with me! Darling don’t you see?
Hey! You know summers almost ending,
winters nearly here
and this might be our last night to spend like this.
So put your arms around me and we’ll stay up tonight.
We don’t need no sleep no
Darling don’t you see.
Darling don’t you see.
Darling don’t you see.
Darling don’t you see.

Could I write you a song
to tell you how much you mean to me?
I know these words are not enough,
but it's the only way I could think to tell you this.
This silence is killing me.
How can I overcome this?
When you left us to go on...
Please don't leave so soon.
I wish I could of been there
and used my time to tell you this.
I guess we all forget time ends so fast.
And if I don't see you again
I want you to know this.
I'm sorry I wasn't there
and I can't steal us more time.
Still I hope that you agree,
that we meant more to each other
than anyone could see.
How can I be more like you?
'Cause I can't take your place.
No, I know it doesn't work that way.
I want to be more like you.
How can there be no noise
even when I am screaming?
'Cause now I know
I'm never going to hold you again.
I don't know if you can hear me
from where your soul has gone now.
But what I want to tell you is
I miss you oh so much.
and if I can't bring you back,
can someone tell me...
How can I be more like you?
'Cause I can't take your place.
No, I know it doesn't work that way.
Please help me be more like you...
I can see light fading from day
and stars are gone, not just hidden by the city lights.
Summer has become cold
and I'm feeling empty.
This world has changed now you're gone.
I'm just wishing I'd said this much.
Oh while you were still here.
So someone help me please.
How can I be more like you?
'Cause I can't take your place.
No, I know it doesn't work that way.
Are there more like you
in this world at all?
'Cause I can't live without your face.
How can I be more like you?
'Cause I can't take your place
and no I don't know if I'll be ok.

You’re the one that I could never leave behind because I’d miss you.
Without you I’d be falling and then I’d hit the concrete.
Oh girl, you’re the sweetest thing to me.
You make me feel complete.
Without you I could barely breathe.
You make me feel so good.
You make me feel so happy.
With you I feel like I could fly.
I don’t think I could bare to see you with another guy that’s not me.
You make me feel complete
You’re the one.
Oh I, I can’t get you out of my mind.
You’re all I see.
Without you I’d be stranded in the middle of the sea with no one to save me.
Together with you, you’re all I need.
You and me, we’re the best team.
I’m writing this song to say…
I’m falling more in love with you each and every day.
You make me feel so good.
You make me feel so happy.
With you I feel like I could fly.
I don’t think I could bare to see you with another guy that’s not me.
You make me feel complete
You’re the one.
Without you girl I don’t know what I’d do.
Oh I would travel the world to find you.
I need you now so please don’t be leaving me any time soon.
I’m losing my mind.
You make me feel so good.
You make me feel so happy.
With you I feel like I could fly.
I don’t think I could bare to see you with another guy that’s not me.
You make me feel complete
You’re the one.
