[Intro]
(Ohhh, yeah…)
Didn’t see it coming—
But it’s all I feel now.
(Feel it… mmm…)
---
[Verse 1]
It started as a whisper, soft and slow
Your laugh like static on a midnight radio
I swore I wouldn't fall, I kept my space
But you lit the match in a quiet place
(Too close… can’t breathe…)
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I dream in colors I can’t touch
Reach for you but it’s never enough
You’re right there, but a world away
And I smile while I break
(Hold it in… don’t shake…)
---
[Chorus]
It hurts to love you—oh, it aches inside
Like a secret burning that I can’t hide
You don’t even know what you mean to me
But I keep pretending it’s just fantasy
It hurts to love you, hurts so deep
But I’d rather feel this than feel nothing at all
(Yeah… I feel it all…)
---
[Verse 2]
You talk to me like I’m just air
And I laugh back like I don’t care
But every moment, I fall more in
And every silence pulls me deeper in sin
(Can’t stop… won’t stop…)
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay your words like sacred lines
But you’re not mine, you were never mine
Still I hold the pieces like they're whole
While you hold someone else’s soul
(That really hurts…)
---
[Chorus]
It hurts to love you—oh, it aches inside
Like a secret burning that I can’t hide
You don’t even know what you mean to me
But I keep pretending it’s just fantasy
It hurts to love you, hurts so deep
But I’d rather feel this than feel nothing at all
(Ohhh… all or nothing, baby…)
---
[Instrumental Break]
(Ohhh... oh no...)
(Yeah yeah yeah...)
(Still I do… still I do…)
(Mmm… I wish you knew…)
---
[Bridge]
Maybe in another life
You’d be mine and we’d be right
But in this one, I just bleed
And you don’t even see
(You don’t see me…)
---
[Final Chorus]
It hurts to love you—I won’t lie
This kind of love feels like goodbye
You don’t even know you’re breaking me
But I’d still choose you endlessly
It hurts to love you, hurts so real
And that’s the only way I know how to feel
(Hurts so real… yeah…)
---
[Outro]
(Still I love you...)
(Still I ache...)
(Still I stay...)
Even when I know I can't.
(Ohhh… I can’t…)
