[Verse 1]
I wish you knew how much I wished I knew how not to hurt you
I walk the streets outside alone for hours awaitin' as the evening comes through
And I'm just a poor boy looking for a home in you, I thought you knew
But you can't stand the sight of me, this side of me, is something you can't do

[Chorus]
Hey, as our love wanes
You look me in the face to say you wouldn't have it any other way
And I feel the same
But something must have broken you to make you think these things you do
I wish you knew how much I wished I knew how not to hurt you

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Girl, you know I feel the same
But something must have broken you then make you think these things you do
I wish you knew how much I wished I knew how not to hurt you

[Bridge]
I'll never underestimate your need to complicate
All the things I find simple in the world
And yet you can replicate the feelings that I dare to say
You never once had for me, did you girl?
[Verse 2]
You slip on your cocktail dress for him and dance until there's nothing left
Then you both roll on the floor and you won't stop until you're out of breath
You smile as he looks up at you, eyes wide, and wonders how he won this
And you know when he smiles back, it's done, you're glad it's finished

[Chorus/Outro]
Hey, as our love wanes
You look me in the face to say you wouldn't have it any other way
And I feel the same
Well something must have broken you then make you think these things you do
I wish you knew how much I wished I knew how not to hurt you
I wish you knew how much I wished I knew how not to hurt you
