The Ones I Love
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.
Sit in your car, wait in the dark
Radio is up and so is your guard
You don't know what to say
You're faking a smile, you say that you're fine
And maybe it'll all work out in time
You've always been good that way
Feel like I've done this before
You're fighting your tears as I open the door
And you deserve much more
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
And I watch you cry cause I wasn't enough
Watch you disappearing down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
You told me your past, you hated your dad
And when you left college
Couldn't wait to go back
Cause you really trusted me
And what did I do? What did I do?
I build you up, abandoned you
And I'm too proud to say sorry
Feel like I've done this before
You're fighting your tears as I open the door
And you deserve much more
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
And I watch you cry cause I wasn't enough
Watch you disappearing down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
I didn't mean it, baby
I didn't think it all through
I didn't mean it, baby
Always ruin good things like you
I watched the life drain out of your eyes
And it's no surprise
It's no surprise
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
And I watch you cry cause I wasn't enough
Watch you disappearing down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love
And I watch you cry cause I wasn't enough
Watch you disappearing down the road
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
The ones I love the most
Seems like I always hurt the ones I love the most
Ones I love the most
