Maybe I like the hurt

I’m tired of tryin’, tired of guessin’,

Tired of learnin’ the same damn lesson.

You say you care, then change your mind,

Got me feelin’ like I can’t do nothin’ right.

(Chorus)

All I want is to feel somethin’ real,

Someone to love me for the man I am.

But you keep leadin’ me on, lettin’ me down,

Leavin’ me holdin’ this bottle in my hand.

Whiskey don’t fix it, but it’s all I’ve got—

I just wanna feel loved… is that askin’ a lot?

(Verse 2)

You hit me up when you’re feelin’ lonely,

Then disappear like you don’t even know me.

And I fall for it every single time,

Guess I’m stupid for wantin’ you to be mine.

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m cursed…

Hell, maybe I’m startin’ to like the hurt.

(Chorus)

All I want is to feel somethin’ real,

Someone to love me for the man I am.

But you keep leadin’ me on, lettin’ me down,

Leavin’ me holdin’ this bottle in my hand.

Whiskey don’t fix it, but it’s all I’ve got—

I just wanna feel loved… is that askin’ a lot?

(Bridge)

Maybe I chase the pain I’ve learned,

Maybe I run right back ‘cause deep down I yearn

For someone to want me, even if it burns…

Yeah, maybe I like the hurt.

(Outro)

So here’s to the nights I never learn,

Here’s to the scars I damn well earned.

Pour another shot, watch the world blur—

’Cause maybe… I like the hurt
