Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was it something I said?
Did I take it too far?
Trying to prove who I was
It only emptied my heart
'Cause I watched you drive away
In your getaway car
When you pulled me in close
Yeah, you pulled me apart
[PreChorus]
'Cause when you love something a little too much
And you're too afraid to give it up
You watch everything just disappear at once
[Chorus]
So why's it gotta hurt so bad?
Why's it gotta be like this?
'Cause you asked me to hold on tight
And every single time I did
Now I'm standing outside your door, love
Singing in the pouring rain
I gave it everything I could
But you don't want to speak again
Why’s it hurt so bad?
[Verse 2]
I forgot who I was
That I became what you wanted
'Cause we were dancing in the dark
And I was lost in a panic
[PreChorus]
So I turned my cheek but you turned a little more
And I lost every part of who I was before
[Chorus]
So why's it gotta hurt so bad?
Why's it gotta be like this?
'Cause you asked me to hold on tight
And every single time I did
Now I'm standing outside your door, love
Screaming in the pouring rain
I gave everything I could
But you don't want to speak again
Why’s it hurt so bad?
[Refrain]
Hurt so
Hurt so
Hurt so bad
Hurt so
Hurt so
Hurt so bad
[Outro]
Why’s it hurt so bad?
Why's it gotta end like this?
You asked me to hold on tight
And every single time I did
Now I'm standing outside your door, love
Screaming in the pouring rain
I gave it everything I could
But you don't want to speak again
And it hurts so bad
