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