lyrics

HARD TO HURT SOMEONE

When you know then you know
You just gotta let 'em go
Sometimes love ain’t enough
Takes so much to fill us up

It’s hard to hurt someone
It’s hard to hurt someone
You gotta let 'em down
You wanna let ‘em down easy

Wish you could steer free and clear
With no one knowing you were here
You're gonna heal
She’s gonna heal
You’ll both be laughing in a year

It’s hard to hurt someone
It’s hard to hurt someone
You gotta let 'em down
You wanna let ‘em down easy

I used to think nothing of a little blood

"Shake it off"
"What’s done is done"
"Let 'em say what they wanna"
All those clichés that people say
to make them feel better
Like "shake it off"
"What’s done is done"
"Let 'em say what they're gonna"
But they never say the simplest thing
hurting someone is the hardest thing

Cuz it feels wrong just moving on
It feels wrong just moving on
But there’s nothing wrong with moving on
There’s nothing wrong with moving on

It’s hard to hurt someone
Hard to hurt someone
But you're gonna let 'em down
You're gonna have to let 'em down

You’re gonna hurt someone…
It's really hard to hurt someone
You have to let em down
You gotta let 'em down easy
