Hurt lyrics

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

By hurting you

Lesson Plan: This Love by Maroon 5

THIS LOVE (sung by Maroon 5)

I was so high I did not recognize
....... fire burning in her eyes,
(Nor) ....... chaos that controlled my mind.
(She) Whispered....... 'goodbye' and she got on ....... plane -
Never to return again, But always in my heart
<>()<>
This love has taken its toll on me;
She said....... 'goodbye' too many times before
And her heart is breaking in ....... front of me.
I have no choice 'cause I
Won't say....... 'goodbye' anymore.
<>()<>I tried my best to feed her appetite,
Keep her coming every night.
(It was) So hard to keep her satisfied;
(She) Kept playing ....... love like it was just ....... game,
Pretending to feel ....... same,
Then turn around and leave again.
<>()<>
This love has taken its toll on me;
She said....... 'goodbye' ....... too many times before
And her heart is breaking in ....... front of me.
I have no choice, 'cause
I won't say .......'goodbye' anymore.
<>()<>
I'll fix these broken things;
(I'll) Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright.
My pressure on your hips,
Sinking my fingertips Into every inch of you,
'Cause I know that's what you want me to do.
