You Always Hurt the One You Love lyrics

You always hurt

the one you love,

the one,

the one you should not hurt at all.

Let me tell you, you always take

the sweetest rose

and crush that little thing,

you gotta walk all over it until those little petals start to fall.

You always break

the kindest heart

with a hasty word,

with a hasty word you never ever did recall.

No, you never did because you know hmm-hmm,

if, if I broke your heart last night,

it's because I love ya',

I love ya', I love you most of all.

Well, you always hurt

the one you love,

the one you should not

hurt at all.

Well, you always take

the sweetest rose

and you crush it till

those petals start to fall.

And you always break,

you break the kindest heart

with a hasty word, such a hasty word

you can't recall.

So, if, let me tell you if I broke

your heart last night,

it's because

I love you most of all.
