[Verse 1]
I've done some bad things, this I know
If I can't change things, tell me so
It does no good to break your toe on the wall

I know you're angry, that's all right
I said I don't care, well, I lied
But I don't care who wins the fight after all

[Chorus]
As long as you don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself
It's bad enough
Don't hurt yourself
I wouldn't want to see you make
Trouble for yourself over my mistake
That's all I'm asking so

Don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself
I don't want to see you hurt
Hurt a single second for me

[Verse 2]
You burn your bridges when you're cross
There's nothing left when you cool off
You can't go back so now you're lost like a rolling stone
It seems like trouble so you hide
You keep it bottled up inside
'Til it's too late and you end up crying alone
And there you go

[Chorus]
Don't hurt yourself
It's bad enough, don't hurt yourself
I wouldn't want to see you make
Trouble for yourself over my mistake
That's all I'm asking so

[Outro]
Don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself
I don't want to see you hurt
Hurt another second for me
It's just not worth it

Don't hurt yourself
No don't, no don't hurt yourself
I wouldn't want to see you make
Trouble for yourself over my mistake
That's all I'm asking so

Please don't hurt yourself
Please don't hurt yourself
I can't stand to see you hurt
Hurt a single second for me
No don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself...
