Verse
Gm
It's my fault again, it always is
Eb
Twist around my words, so they don't make sense
A#
It's so complicating
F
You rope me in, then manipulate me
Gm
Up at three AM, I haven't heard from you
Eb
Imagine if I did these things to you
A#
Now I'm contemplating
F
Is our love on fire fading?
Cm Eb
Can you tell me how?
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
How is this supposed to work, if it hurts
A# F
If it hurts, if it hurts
Gm Eb
When I try to use the words to explain
A# F
But it just makes it worse
Gm Eb
I tried and I tried to trust
A# F
I gave and I gave but it wasn't enough
Gm Eb A# F
For what it's worth, how can I love you if it hurts?
[Verse 2]
Gm
You found my weakest spots and dig in deep
Eb
Show up with someone new just so I can see
A#
I act out pathetic
F
Told you it hurts but you still don't get it
Gm
I used to think certain things bother me more than they should
Eb
But then I realized you just make me feel misunderstood
A#
If love is pain and pain is real
F
Baby, if for once you'll feel
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
How this will never work, if it hurts
A# F
If it hurts, if it hurts
Gm Eb
When I try to use the words to explain
A# F
But it just makes it worse
Gm Eb
I tried and I tried to trust
A# F
I gave and I gave but it wasn't enough
Gm Eb A# F
For what it's worth, how can I love you if it hurts?

Eb Gm F
I couldn't stop myself from falling for you

You turned into someone else, I wish I knew
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
It was never gonna work, if it hurts
A# F
If it hurts, if it hurts
Gm Eb
When I try to use the words to explain
A# F
But it just makes it worse
Gm Eb
I tried and I tried to trust
A# F
I gave and I gave but it wasn't enough

For what it's worth, how can I love you if it hurts?
