Intro

I wanted you to know, I've learned to live without it

And even though it's colder now, I no longer feel surrounded

And you never listened to me, and that's the thing I tell the others

You were my harlequin bride, I was your undercover lover, but no

You never saw me naked, you wouldn't even touch me

Except if you were wasted

But you were trying your best, and that's the thing I tell thе others

I was your robot companion, you were my favouritе colour, and, oh

Verse

I'm caught up on the person I tried to turn myself into for you

Someone who didn't mind the push-pull parlour games

Someone who wasn't always cryin' on the journey back

Someone who didn't feel the low blows either way

Thought I was waiting for you, when all along

It was you with the countdown kill switch

And it was me with the blindfold on

Pre-Chorus

And I was trying my best, and that's the thing I tell the mirror

I was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other

Chorus

What might be good for your heart

Might not be good for my head

And what was there at the start

Might not be there in the end

Post-Chorus

Do you wanna hurt me?

Do you wanna hurt me?

'Cause nobody hurts me better ('Cause nobody loves me better)

Do you wanna hurt me?

Do you wanna hurt me?

'Cause nobody hurts me better ('Cause nobody loves me better)

Instrumental Break
Bridge

Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke

We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah

Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes

I don't wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know

Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke

We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah

Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes

I don't wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know

Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke

We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah

Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes

I don't wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know

Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke

We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah

Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes

I don't wanna stick around, I—

Outro

No one's gonna save me from my memories

Nothing to lose, but I would've given anything

To get closer to you and all your enemies

I've got a few of my own

And this throne didn't come with a gun, so I've got a different energy

I still see you when the lights get low

I still hear you when I'm on my own

The parasites in the nightmares calling my name like, "Please just let me go"

This one's for you and your problems, your good day job

Your bad karma, what are you afraid of?

The same trauma, show me what you're made of

'Cause you talk about your constant pain like I ain't got none

And I've learned to live beside it

And even though it's over now I will always be reminded
