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

I couldn't stop myself from falling for you

You turned into someone else, I wish I knew
[Chorus]
Am F
It was never gonna work, if it hurts
C G
If it hurts, if it hurts
Am F
When I try to use the words to explain
C G
But it just makes it worse
Am F
I tried and I tried to trust

I gave and I gave but it wasn't enough

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