[Verse 1]
I should have told him that I needed him
When I had the chance (Had the chance)
And now he's left me and it's all over
Goodbye, romance (Bye, romance)
I should have told him then
Over and over again
That I love him

[Chorus]
But it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought
Was being so smart
(Thought I was smart)

[Verse 2]
The way I cheated him and mistreated him
How could I forget? (I forget)
I was so sure that he would always trust in me
Oh, that I'd take a bet (Take a bet) no, no, no
He'd never say goodbye
But here all alone am I
He is gone now 'cause
[Chorus]
It was easier to hurt him
What could I do?
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I should have known better
(It was easier to hurt him)
That's what I thought
Was being so smart (Oh, oh)
Oh, it was easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
(It was) Easier to hurt him
What did I do?
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I should have known better
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
