It was easier to hurt him lyrics

I should have told him

That I needed him

When I had the chance

And now he's left me

And it's all over

Goodbye romance

I should have told him then

Over and over again

That I love him

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

The way I cheated him

And mistreated him

How could I forget?

I was so sure that he

Would always trust in me

Oh, that I'd take a bet, no, no, no

He'd never say goodbye

But here all alone am I

He is gone now, ahh, 'cause

It was easier to hurt him

What could I do?

(It was) Easier to hurt him

I should have known better

That's what I thought

Was being so smart, 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
