How Not To Hurt You

(album: Follow Me - 2017)

What do I know
About letting go
What do I see
In you not with me
That entices me so

So here's another Tuesday
Telling you the truth way
Harsher than I should
Wasn't my intention
To list your imperfections
But now that we're here
Think I'll just let it flow

I don't know how not to hurt you
These verbal wounds cut deep into you, ooh-ooh
Why's it so hard to soften the blow
Of breaking your heart, I'm falling apart
But I don't know how not to hurt you, oh, oh

What do you I do
About no longer needing you
Affectionately, oh
Your heart of gold
And I'm treating you so cold
Unintentionally, mmh, yeah

So here's another Tuesday
Wishing that my mind has changed
But I'd still rather be alone
Tallied up another one
Broke your heart and had fun
I'm looking forward to the goodbye

I don't know how not to hurt you
These verbal wounds cut deep into you, hey-hey, yeah
Why's it so hard to soften the blow
Of breaking your heart, I'm falling apart
But I don't know how not to hurt you, hey-hey, ooh

Who am I to think I know
What's best for you
What's best for you
Changing my mind, taking you on a ride
But from time to time
I want our bodies to align, ooh

I don't know how not to hurt you
Don't know, don't know, don't know
Why's it so hard to soften the blow
Of breaking your heart, I'm falling apart
But I don't know how not to hurt you, ooh, oh

I don't know how not to hurt you
