God I hate to say it, but it's just too damn bad

Believe me I'm not living in the past

You're your own worst enemy, and I know that you'll never see, but I promise you it's not me being mad

I've gotta give you credit, and I'm not embarrassed

You've given me a lot of things to say for material it's great, and the songs I've yet to play

And the little things kickin' around my brain

The first time I cared someone called me beautiful

The only time I ever took notice

And it turns out you never meant a word of it

And I hate that you hurt me cause you weren't even worth it

'hate giving you the satisfaction of knowin' the power you held over me

I worry it's the closest I'll ever be to livin' in the moment

Cause I'm even though I'm not, hurting is the easy part

You and your little white lies making a mockery of my misery

You know what, you're so full of it, I can't pretend that I'd forgive all that you did

If you don't like hearing what I've got to say or if you choose to take this the wrong way

Baby, it's just a misunderstanding-isn't that what you said

The first time I cared someone called me beautiful

The only time I ever took notice

And it turns out you never meant a word of it

And I hate that you hurt me cause you weren't even worth it

'hate giving you the satisfaction of knowin' the power you held over me

I worry it's the closest I'll ever be to livin' in the moment

Cause I'm even though I'm not, hurting is the easy part

Normally if you woulda told me you loved me it woulda felt like a concrete anchor chained to my feet pullin' me under til I couldn't breathe

But you have a way about you, sweepin' me up, in your current I'm stuck

And all I wanna hear are those three little words but all you ever gave me was a lifetime of hurt cause

The first time I cared someone called me beautiful

The only time I ever took notice

And it turns out you never meant a word of it

(You never meant a word)

And I hate that you hurt me cause you weren't even worth it

'hate giving you the satisfaction of knowin' the power you held over me

I worry it's the closest I'll ever be to livin' in the moment

Cause I'm even though I'm not, hurting is the easy part

Yeah, hurting is the easy part

Hurting is the easy part

Hurting is the easy part
