"Hurt By You" lyrics

"Hurt By You"

Only give me love when I'm giving it back
But you say you'll never be my friend
Always on the train, never on the track
So I'm jumping before the crash
And I know you're just trying to scare me
But you lost all of your effect
You can bark like a dog baring your teeth
But I'm never going back again
No I'm never going back again

Babe, it's true
I'm in love with what we were
But not with you
What's left to prove?
Tried so many damn times to cut you loose
Now I'm way too far away to be hurt by you

You call to say you're better, I know better than that
You're just looking for some sympathy
It's not about you or somebody new
This time it's about me
And I know you're gonna say I'm selfish
And I know you're gonna think it's mean
But you show up at my house in the middle of the night
Saying I'm the one that's crazy
Stop trying to debase me

Well babe, it's true
I'm in love with what we were
But not with you
What's left to prove?
Tried so many damn times to cut you loose
I know you don't mean what you're saying
And it doesn't even matter if you do
Cuz I'm way too far away to be hurt by you
Now I'm way too far away to be hurt by you

Sorry if I gave the impression
That I'm trying to fix what we broke
Maybe we lay down our weapons
And make peace with letting go
Cuz babe it's true
I'm in love with what we were
But not with you

Babe, it's true
I'm in love with what we were
But not with you
What's left to prove?
Tried so many damn times to cut you loose
I know you don't mean what you're saying
And it doesn't even matter if you do
Cuz I'm way too far away to be hurt by you
Yes I'm way too far away to be hurt by you

The singer said about this song, "Letting someone go doesn't have to signify loss and pain exclusively. There can be wide open space on the other side of that to feel autonomy, freedom, and room to grow. it doesn't have to suck! And you don't have to be hurt by change."
