Hurt Any Less - Lauren Aquilina

5AM, in the rain

Waiting for you to explain

Why you don’t think you can stay

Why my world’s just gone insane

I remember the first time we were here

You told me all your darkest fears

And I fell apart

I knew this was coming from day one

Back there in September when we’d just begun

I was right, but I’ve never wanted to be so wrong

Why did you have to let me let you in?

I don’t let many people under my skin

I know that this is for the best

But it doesn’t hurt any less

But it doesn’t hurt any less

People break each other’s hearts

In their individual ways

You broke mine clean in half

When you let me stay

You made me feel so exposed

Asked for the feelings I held close

And I gave them away

I knew this was coming from day one

This was never love, it was chaos

I was right, but I’ve never wanted to be so wrong

Why did you have to let me let you in?

I don’t let many people under my skin

I know that this is for the best

But it doesn’t hurt any less

But it doesn’t hurt any less

I’m not what you thought you wanted

It was you who started this

I gave everything, expecting nothing

But it doesn’t hurt any less

You tell me you were mistaken

But you can’t give back what you’ve taken

How does it feel to be keeping it all?

I can’t see how there’s a middle ground

I wanted you, but I want nothing now

I think I’d rather take the fall

Why did you have to let me let you in?

I don’t let many people under my skin

I know that this is for the best

But it doesn’t hurt any less

But it doesn’t hurt any less

I’m not what you thought you wanted

But it was you who started this

I gave everything, expecting nothing

But it doesn’t hurt any less
