Why Does It Hurt

3 a.m., 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 fucking distant

And I knew it was over

And I know it's for the best

But it don't hurt any less

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?

Somebody tell me, why does it hurt?

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 till 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

Till you said it was over

And I know it's for the best

But it don't hurt any less

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?

Somebody tell me, why does it hurt?

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, oh

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?

Somebody tell me, why does it hurt?

Why does it hurt? Why does it hurt?
