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

Chorus

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

Chorus +:

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
