[Verse 1]
Tear-stained eyes and a confused heart
Mama always sang Love Shouldn't Be This Hard
But I stuck around 'cause I surely thought
I could die from a broken heart

[Chorus]
But as I grew older and opened my eyes
I came to wonder
How you can hurt me without feeling bad
How can you desert me without a sting on your back?
I told mama I can't hurt a fly without a worry
How can you hurt a girl not saying sorry?

[Verse 2]
Looking back, I guess I was numb
Young and blind, tangled up in love
I held onto what I got
Every text of your word leaving me with scars

[Chorus]
But as I grew older and opened my eyes
I came to wonder
How you can hurt me without feeling bad
How can you desert me without a sting on your back?
I told mama I can't hurt a fly without a worry
How can you hurt a girl not saying sorry?
[Bridge]
Apol-, apologizing ain't mean nothing to you
Apol-, apologizing ain't mean nothing

[Chorus]
As I grew older and opened my eyes
I came to wonder
How you can hurt me without feeling bad
How can you desert me without a sting on your back?
I told mama I can't hurt a fly without a worry
How can you hurt a girl not saying sorry?
