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