SONG: “HURT”

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were, but I walked away

...... only I knew what I know today

Ooh, ooh

I .... hold you in my arms

I .... take the pain away

Thank you for all you've done

Forgive all your mistakes

There's nothing I .....

to hear your voice again

Sometimes I wanna call you

But I know you won't be there

Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you

For everything I just ..... do

And I've hurt myself .... hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit

Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss

And it's so hard to say goodbye

When it comes to these rules

.....you tell me I .... wrong?

Would you help me understand?

Are you looking down upon me?

Are you proud .... who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't ....

To have just one more chance

To look into your eyes

And see you looking back

Ohh I'm sorry .... blaming you

For everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself, ohh

If I .... just one more day

I .... tell you how much that I've missed you

Since you've been away

Ooh, it's dangerous

It's so out of line

To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for .... you

For everything I just ..... do

And I've hurt myself by hurting you
