I’ve Hurt Myself (By Hurting You) Lyrics by Ronnie Atkins
I’ve hurt myself by hurting you
Heaven is falling
Trouble snowballing
Love has been stalling
My heart is still calling for you
You, yeah, you
We go through the motions
Our world is imploding
Like withering roses
Caught in a moment of truth
Truth, it’s true
Always thought you were one in a million
Always saw you as second to none
I succumb to my own apprehension and come undone
I’ve hurt myself by hurting you
I caused the pain that we’ve been through
I lost my innocence somehow
And it’s all coming back to me now
I broke your heart a time or two
Tore love apart when it felt true
I fooled myself again, got hurt by hurting you
Ooh yeah
Mmm
Fraud to perfection
Lies and deception
Accuse and rejection
And now our connection is gone
It’s gone, long gone
I’m down on my knees
And panic increasing
I’m begging you, please girl
Forgive me for what I have done
I’ve done, it was wrong
And my words may have been out of proportions
I apologise and I do repent
Ah, it was the whisky talking again
I’ve hurt myself by hurting you
I caused the pain that we’ve been through
I lost my innocence somehow
And it’s all coming back to me now
I broke your heart a time or two
Tore love apart when it felt true
I fooled myself again, got hurt by hurting you
Hurting you
A towering guilt and a conscience burning
A minefield of thoughts and a heart that’s yearning
My life is your command
You’ve got the upper hand
I’ve hurt myself by hurting you
I caused the pain that we’ve been through
I lost my innocence somehow
And it’s all coming back to me now
I broke your heart a time or two
Tore love apart when it felt true
I fooled myself again, got hurt by hurting you
I’ve hurt myself by hurting you
Ooh
I caused the pain that we’ve been through
Ooh
I broke your heart a time or two
Ooh
Tore love apart when it felt true
Ooh
