Hurt Me Once

[Verse 1] I'm sure it was nothing But you never used to bring somebody else along Used to be our thing Going to a movie, then we wander home All these little landmines All these little things that one can read two ways Like when you take every call outside Seems that I’ve forgotten how to read your face But I know you too well to get it wrong [Chorus] If you have to hurt me, hurt me once If you have to end it, get it done You have all these choices, I have none You're all that I have to lose Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to I’ve decided on you [Verse 2] If you keep it going Then one by one, the memories will start to blur You'll ruin the good ones But I guess my photo album's none of your concern Don't humor me with kindness There's nothing kind about a hundred small betrayals If you love me at all, you'll kill it now [Chorus] If you have to hurt me, hurt me once If you have to end it, get it done You have all these choices, I have none You're all that I have to lose Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to I’ve decided on you, I’ve decided on you [Outro] And if I'm disappointed It’s 'cause you're not the person I knew If I had it my way, I'd be kinder than you I’m sure I'll forgive you, and soon I'm ashamed that I'm proud of it, too I decided on you
