I only loved you for a second But it caused me a lifetime of pain And though I know I'm better off without you I still find refuge in your name Oh, I know it's all self-inflicted He can't be the one that I blame I know it's all my own doing To love someone who doesn't choose to stay Oh, why do we love the ones who hurt us most? Oh, and why do we love the ones who don't put us first? I'm helpless and it hurts me Every day it's heavier to carry Heavier, it's heavier to carry Heavier It took me so long to see you But it's harder to hate you when you're gone The promises you kept were so easy to forget Cause you never stayed with me for long Oh, I know it's all self-inflicted It's easier to think it's my fault I know it's all my own doing To love someone who makes me think I'm flawed Oh, why do we love the ones who hurt us most? Oh, and why do we love the ones who don't put us first? I'm helpless and it hurts me Every day it's heavier to carry Oh, heavier, it's heavier to carry Heavier Heavier I only loved you for a second But it caused me a lifetime of pain
