Love You When It Hurts

Verse 1

You pull me close just to disappear

Say all the right things, never stay here

I read your eyes like warning signs

But I cross every line every time

I know your touch ain’t medicine

But I take it like I need it to breathe

Every promise tastes like regret

Still I drink it, yeah I bleed

Pre-Chorus

I should walk away by now

But my heart don’t hear a sound

When my mind is screaming “run”

I stay when I should be done

Chorus

I love you when it hurts

When it tears me down to the dirt

When I swear I’ve had enough

But I still reach out for your love

I love you when it breaks me

When the truth don’t ever save me

I know it’s killing me inside

But I love you every time

Verse 2

You say my name like you mean it

Then leave me alone with the doubt

I build you up just to watch you

Burn the whole thing to the ground

I keep telling myself “this is the last time”

But my goodbye never sticks

I keep choosing the pain you give me

Over the peace I miss

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been fighting my reflection

Trying not to lose respect

But loving you feels like addiction

And I can’t quit it yet

I love you when it hurts

When it tears me down to the dirt

When I swear I’ve had enough

But I still reach out for your love

I love you when it breaks me

When the truth don’t ever save me

I know it’s killing me inside

But I love you every time

If pain had a face

It’d look just like you

If letting go was easy

I’d already be through

But I hold on

Even when it’s killing me

I love you when it hurts

When I lose myself in the worst

When my heart’s begging me to leave

But I fall back to you in pieces

I love you when it breaks me

Even knowing you won’t save me

I know it’s killing me inside

But I love you…

Yeah, I love you every time

Outro

Every time…

Yeah, I love you every time
