I should have told him that I needed him
When I had the chance
And now he's left me, and it's all over
Goodbye romance
I should have told him then, over and over again
That I love him

But, it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought was being so smart

The way I cheated him and mistreated him
How could I forget?
I was so sure that he would always trust in me
Oh, that I'd take a bet, no no no
He'd never say goodbye
But here all alone am I
He is gone now, 'cause

It was easier to hurt him
What could I do?
It was easier to hurt him
I should have known better
That's what I thought was being so smart, oh oh

It was easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
It was easier to hurt him
What did I do?
It was easier to hurt him
I should have known better
It was easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
