Hurt Me Once - Ben Platt

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

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

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

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

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, but I’m proud of it, too

I decided on you
