A Heart Doesn't Hurt Itself

Original

I'd tell a joke,

I'd look around 'cause yours is the only laugh that I cared about.

I'd send a song for your opinion, but if you didn't say you loved it, I'd throw it out.

I became a danger, an existential crisis, but now I'm filled with anger and you're none the wiser.

Yeah, I was the captain and it was the ship, but you killed me when you sunk it.

Oh, yeah.

Thought I was doing this to myself, but a heart doesn't hurt itself.

I would lie 'cause the truth wouldn't sell.

Now when I look at it, it looks like hell.

I would die for so little, but your love was so fickle.

And what I know now, I know it well, a heart doesn't hurt itself.

You tore me down in my own damn home and what I know now, I should have let you go, but I wanted you closer.

And I'm laughing now just to keep from crying, the way you got away with lighting fires 'cause I wanted you closer.

Hurt itself.

I would die for so little.
