[Chorus]
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'til the petals fall

[Verse]
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So if I broke your heart last night
Because I love you most of all

[Chorus]
You always hurt the one you love (Hurt the one you— Always)
The one you shouldn't hurt at all (Hurt the one you— Always)
You always take the sweetest rose (Hurt the one you— Always)
And crush it 'til the petals fall

[Bridge]
You always hurt the one
You always hurt the one
You always hurt the one
You always hurt the one
The one you love most of all

[Chorus]
You always hurt the one you love
The one who you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it 'til the petals fall
[Outro]
You always
Hurt the one you— Always
Hurt the one you— Always
Hurt the one you— Always
Hurt the one you— Always
Hurt the one you— Always
Hurt the one you— Always
Hurt the one you— Always
