"The Hurt" lyrics

I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to feel this again
I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to go through this again

Betrayed you, now I've made you really upset
I took you for a rough ride, I regret
My late night sipping caught up with me quickly
Thought I was slick, but now I wanna kick me
Taking all you gave me for granted
I struck oil at my well abandoned
Buried my axe deep into your back
Lie after lie for this fact
Now I'm on my knees begging for forgiveness
Wishing all along I could relive this
Make it all better with flowers and champagne
Give you that thing that drives you insane
But you're not the one to be charmed in romance
Can't fix this by jumping in your pants
I don't deserve a chance to toss more dirt
But please, forgive me for the hurt

I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to feel this again
I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to go through this again

Dissed you, now I stand here hoping you don't leave me
So many lies, you have no reason to believe me
Tear-filled eyes tell me that you're heartbroken
Tremble on your lips shows the anger not spoken
Silly for me to play the gigolo role
Silly for me to treat your love so cold
Never have I liked you to treat me so well
Now I find myself asking what in the hell?
Have I done amount of one to be forgiven?
After all the pain I caused with foul living
All the promises I made, promises not kept
Dirty deeds done while you just slept
Now look at me tense and afraid you'll hit the door
Now I wanna heal all the wounds to the core
Now you have my word, I won't keep the flirt
Just forgive me for the hurt

I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to feel this again
I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to go through this again
I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to feel this again
I am hurt, I am hurt by you
And I don't want to go through this again
