[Verse 1]
They held me down every day
Back biting whispers in the shadows
They're dodging me in every way
But that's okay, child, that's okay, child

[Pre-Chorus]
But one bad word from you
Has got me falling to pieces
One look of shame from you
Has got me falling to pieces

[Chorus]
Nothing hurts like you
Nothing burns like the truth
Shield these scars while I'm speakin' from my heart
Oh, nothing hurts like you

[Verse 2]
You can laugh at my nature of the while
Your words run off me just like water
They knock my pride, I just smile
I'm okay, child, I'm okay, child

[Pre-Chorus]
But one bad word from you
Has got me falling to pieces
One look of shame from you
Has got me falling to pieces
[Chorus]
Nothing hurts like you
Nothing burns like the truth
Shield these scars while I'm speakin' from my heart
Oh, nothing hurts like you

[Bridge]
I know, I know I care too much
But I know you don't care enough

[Pre-Chorus]
But one bad word from you
Has got me falling to pieces
One look of shame from you
Has got me falling to pieces

[Chorus]
Nothing hurts like you (Like you)
Nothing burns like the truth (Oh)
Shield these scars while I'm speakin' from my heart
Oh, nothing hurts like you
