Hurt
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The closer that you get
The closer that you get to me
That's just a road than gon' hurt you
I know I've said some shit
I know I said some shit I don't mean
But girl we know that's what words do
Your body says it first, (your body says it first)
So when you open up your lips to speak
Just know I already heard you
I told you I ain't shit
But still you wanna be with me
We both know I don't deserve you
I'm only gon' hurt you
I'm not gon' change for you, you can't fix me cause I'm not broken
But you develop feelings let's put the real in the open, you could
Give me your heart, that still don't mean that I own it its like walking the line between logic and our emotions, I don't
Know why the stories always the same
Two people fall in love til' they go separate ways
I'm savaged by nature so blame my creator
So much pussy thrown at me I need a coordinator
Eh, every girl thinks shes the 100th girl that I slept with when I ain't even got enough time to check all my messages
Look, I grew up around woman so I never felt the need to rush and get settled down with em
I don't speak for all men I speak for me
So you don't commit your life to someone who ain't gonna keep it a g
Embrace the good, bad and ugly cause there's certain shit in this man that just can't adjusted I know
The truth is like alcohol
You think you can handle it til' you can't stand at all
Tryna' manage with a damaged heart
If every nigga ain't shit then who's at fault
We both know what we hear to do
I get my bluntness is offending you
I guess I'm young and hypocritical
I want the sex but not the spiritual residue
And you want something magical
Cartoon and fairytales, conditions to what come natural, out of touch with the actual
Using sex is collateral, confusion often occurs when ones on release[?] or incompatible
Fights all the time
You say you fine
I know you lyin
It's on your mind
And I ain't blind
I often find
You don't have to cut the knife I guess I'm tired of lying
The closer that you get
The closer that you get to me
That's just a road than gon' hurt you
I know I've said some shit
I know I said some shit I don't mean
But girl we know that's what words do
Your body says it first, (your body says it first)
So when you open up your lips to speak
Just know I already heard you
I told you I ain't shit
But still you wanna be with me
We both know I don't deserve you
I'm only gon' hurt you
