I've Hurt Myself (By Hurting You)

I've hurt myself by hurting you

Heaven is falling

Trouble snowballing

Love has been stalling

My heart is still calling for you

You, yeah, you

We go through the motions

Our world is imploding

Like withering roses

Caught in a moment of truth

Truth, it's true

Always thought you were one in a million

Always saw you as second to none

I succumb to my own apprehension and come undone

I've hurt myself by hurting you

I caused the pain that we've been through

I lost my innocence somehow

And it's all coming back to me now

I broke your heart a time or two

Tore love apart when it felt true

I fooled myself again, got hurt by hurting you

Ooh yeah

Mmm

Fraud to perfection

Lies and deception

Accuse and rejection

And now our connection is gone

It's gone, long gone

I'm down on my knees

And panic increasing

I'm begging you, please girl

Forgive me for what I have done

I've done, it was wrong

And my words may have been out of proportions

I apologise and I do repent

Ah, it was the whisky talking again

I've hurt myself by hurting you

I caused the pain that we've been through

I lost my innocence somehow

And it's all coming back to me now

I broke your heart a time or two

Tore love apart when it felt true

I fooled myself again, got hurt by hurting you

Hurting you

A towering guilt and a conscience burning

A minefield of thoughts and a heart that's yearning

My life is your command

You've got the upper hand

I've hurt myself by hurting you

I caused the pain that we've been through

I lost my innocence somehow

And it's all coming back to me now

I broke your heart a time or two

Tore love apart when it felt true

I fooled myself again, got hurt by hurting you

I've hurt myself by hurting you

Ooh

I caused the pain that we've been through

Ooh

I broke your heart a time or two

Ooh

Tore love apart when it felt true

Ooh
