"Hurt Like Home" lyrics

The illusion love it or lose it but you already knew that didn't you, babe
Guess I wanted to feel wanted for a moment more than anything
It wasn't what you said that stuck in my head it was the way you said it
When you pull away, don't have to say, rip it off quick like a bandage

I've never been one much for complaining
My heart goes where it knows the pain is

Don't let me down easy
Don't let me down slow

I know those in glass houses should avoid skipping stones
But I'd kiss the ring of any special something that helps me forget how much I hate being alone
When the void comes crashing through I don't expect you to drop everything
I'm carrying the kind of darkness you gotta see to believe
Somebody come slap me awake swear to me I'm the most beautiful woman they've ever seen

You can hurt me, now

You don't have to show me no mercy, no
Don't have to keep me from the cold
I'm not here for your sympathy
Love you should know

Don't let me down easy
Don't let me down slow
Doesn't it hurt like hell
Doesn't it hurt like home
Don't let me down easy
Don't let me down slow
Doesn't it hurt like heaven
Doesn't it hurt like home
