[Verse 1] You played my feelings Like a worn-out deck of cards Every glance a little gamble Every touch another scar Too many nights Waiting on your call that never rang Time stretching like a backroad You left me out here, out here hangin’ [Chorus] ‘Cause loving you hurts like hell Burns me down, you wear me thin All these breaking hearts and broken dreams You stack them up, then start again Truth is, I’ve had too much You’ve been twisting me so long Tears to fill a river, babe But I’m still standing strong Loving you hurts like hell And I’ve been hurting way too long [Verse 2] You got a smile That could charm the church bells down But behind those easy stories You just ghost another town No confessions Just excuses in your eyes I’ve memorized the patterns Every little, little lie [Chorus] ‘Cause loving you hurts like hell Burns me down, you wear me thin All these breaking hearts and broken dreams You stack them up, then start again Truth is, I’ve had too much You’ve been twisting me so long Tears to fill a river, babe But I’m still standing strong Loving you hurts like hell And I’ve been hurting way too long [Bridge] No more lies, I’m done defending Every bruise you called a joke I won’t bend to fit your story I’d rather walk this road alone (oh) Truth is, truth is You’re the wound I never mend So I’m closing up this chapter This is where the hurting ends [Chorus] ‘Cause loving you hurts like hell Burns me down, you wear me thin All these breaking hearts and broken dreams You stack them up, then start again Truth is, I’ve had too much You won’t get another song Tears could flood a river, babe But I’m still standing strong Loving you hurts like hell And I’ve stayed hurting way too long Loving you hurts like hell So I’m gone before the dawn
