[Chorus]
Hurt me once, hurt me twice
Leave the cleanest cuts, dirty knives
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Talk of love, talk is nice
But we know walking's tough when it's on ice
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Why can't I seem to forgive all these lies? (lies)
All these texts I don't send
You're always right (right)
I'm always left unopened

[Verse 1]
But maybe if I woulda left
Maybe if I woulda changed
Maybe I wouldn't be stressed
Maybe I would be okay
Stop fucking pounding your chest
You're the one running away
Maybe it is for the best
Or maybe I want you to stay

[Chorus 2]
Hurt me once, hurt me twice
Leave the cleanest cuts, dirty knives
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Talk of love, talk is nice
But we know walking's tough when it's on ice
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Why can't I seem to forgive all these fights? (all these fights)
All these texts left unread
You're always right (right)
I'm always told that we're friends
[Verse 2]
But maybe I shouldn't have guessed
Maybe I shouldn't have prayed
Maybe I wouldn't be stressed
Maybe you wouldn't have changed
Stop fucking pounding your chest
You're the one hiding away
Maybe it is for the best
Or maybe I want it this way

[Chorus 3]
Hurt me once, hurt me twice
Leave the cleanest cuts, dirty knives
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Talk of love, talk is nice
But we know walking's tough when it's on ice
Why can't I seem to forgive you?
Why can't I seem to forgive you?

[Outro]
You got me reckless, you left me dry
You want a second chance to be mine
You are a weapon, you took my life
I learned my lesson, time for goodbyes
