"Hurt" lyrics

"Hurt"

If my memory gets the best of me
Then I'll always find an excuse
Yeah, I'll make believe, re-write history
Ignite a spark I can't undo
It always starts out simple like a conversation
Before I know it, I'm lost in your illumination

If you catch my eye across a crowded room
I'll fall into the atmosphere surrounding you
If you pull me close just to disappear
The chances are, I'd wait for you a thousand years
If you light the fuse, you know that I'll react
If you're reckless with your love just to take it back
You could hurt somebody like that

You're a carnival on a summer night
Gone too soon every time
Yeah, it's beautiful how you burn so bright
In the waste land you leave behind

If you catch my eye across a crowded room
I'll fall into the atmosphere surrounding you
If you pull me close just to disappear
The chances are, I'd wait for you a thousand years
If you light the fuse, you know that I'll react
If you're reckless with your love just to take it back
You could hurt somebody like that

If you call me up at 3AM
I'll run to the rescue time and time and time again

If you pull me close just to disappear
The chances are, I'd wait for you a thousand years
If you light the fuse, you know that I'll react
If you're reckless with your love just to take it back
You could hurt somebody like that
You could hurt somebody like that
You could hurt somebody like that
