Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gonna be some nights when you try to fall asleep
But it's not easy
Hope you tell yourself that it's not your fault
Yeah, yeah
Your favorite pair of shoes, a ring or two
Those are things you don't go back for
Don't give him an excuse to see you
I know
[Verse 2]
Drunk dialling you at a quarter past 2
Sayin' he's made a mistake
Sayin' there's nobody better for you
He doesn't know I'm on the way
[Verse 3]
Don't you think for a minute
He's irreplaceable
I know he hurt you but it won't hurt for long
Hurt for long
He thinks you're out of options
You're 'bout to prove him wrong
'Cause I'm right here making sure you don't hurt for long
Hurt for long
[Verse 4]
Hurt for long, hurt for long
Hurt for long, hurt for long
[Verse 5]
I'll make you forget all the pain, all the stress that he left on you
Every single second I pull you close
Yeah, yeah
I know you were loyal, he was spoiled, all the things he took for granted
Those are all the things that I love the most
[Verse 6]
Now he's drunk dialling you at a quarter past 2
Sayin' he's made a mistake
Sayin' there's nobody better for you
But it's already too late
[Verse 7]
Don't you think for a minute
He's irreplaceable
I know he hurt you but it won't hurt for long
Hurt for long
He thinks you're out of options
You're 'bout to prove him wrong
'Cause I'm right here making sure you don't hurt for long
Hurt for long
[Verse 8]
Ay, hurt for long, hurt for long
Ay, yeah, hurt for long, hurt for long
Hurt for long, hurt for long
'Cause I'm right here making sure you don't hurt for long
Hurt for long
[Verse 9]
Make you feel like it's all in the past
Like it never even happened, never even happened
Make you feel like it's all in the past
Like it never even happened, never even happened
[Verse 10]
Don't you think for a minute
He's irreplaceable
I know he hurt you but it won't hurt for long
Hurt for long
He thinks you're out of options
You're 'bout to prove him wrong
'Cause I'm right here making sure you don't hurt for long
Hurt for long
[Verse 11]
Ay, hurt for long, hurt for long (Making sure you don't)
Hurt for long, hurt for long (Making sure you don't)
Hey, hurt for long, hurt for long
'Cause I'm right here making sure you don't hurt for long
Hurt for long
