VERSE 1
Words sting like a thousand paper cuts
but my heart is still gushing out blood for you
I choke when I overhear your thoughts
speaking so loud and claiming what's true
CHORUS
Well if I didn't care then why would I even try
To make an effort, to make this fucking work and
if I didn't love you this wouldn't hurt so much
like it does right now, like it does right now
VERSE 2
If you would just try your hardest
It wouldn't be so difficult to see, to see, to see that
You were all I've ever wanted
I believed you were the one for me, for me, for me and
CHORUS
If I didn't care then why would I even try
to make an effort, to make this fucking work and
if I didn't love you this wouldn't hurt so much
like it does right now, like it does right now
BRIDGE
And I~ don't ever want to make the same mistake again, no
'Cause you~
would only break my heart again, and again, and again, and again
(INSTRUMENTAL)
BRIDGE
I~ don't ever want to make the same mistake again, no
'Cause you~
would only break my heart again, and again, and again, and again
