The Hurt

I'm a good man
In a dark room
In a big town under a full Moon
It's a Friday
And I'm almost home
I'm in a good place
Full of head space
Got a brand new pack in my suitcase
But it's dinner and
Then it's bed alone
How do you break a mended heart?
I'm bored and want something to do
I wanna fall, fall asleep
Asleep in the arms
The arms of a woman
A woman who doesn't
Doesn't deserve my love
I wanna lie, lie to myself
Myself and someone else
Just to feel something
Something that hurts me
The hurt makes me feel alive
Gonna make it
Like I need her
Gonna miss her the moment I meet her
And it's only gonna get worse from there
I'll be rappin
In the shower
She'll be here by the end of the hour
I can do better
But I can't do better now
How do you break a mended heart?
I'm bored and want something to do
I wanna fall, fall asleep
Asleep in the arms
The arms of a woman
A woman who doesn't
Doesn't deserve my love
I wanna lie, lie to myself
Myself and someone else
Just to feel something
Something that hurts me
The hurt makes me feel alive
So long
It's over
Nice to skip the chance to get to know you
Why did I think this was true?
Because I wanted to
I wanna fall, fall asleep
Asleep in the arms
The arms of a woman
A woman who doesn't
Doesn't deserve my love
I wanna lie, lie to myself
Myself and someone else
Just to feel something
Something that hurts me
The hurt makes me feel alive
I wanna fall
I wanna kneel
I wann lie, cry, say goodbye
Beg, lie, cheat and steal
