It Hurts to be True |
LyricsIt Hurts To Be TrueMy Friend, How can you help me I need to be cruel to be kind And that means our goodbyes My Friend, I know that you love me I want to be friends at the end but girl I don't love you It hurts to be true It hurts to be true My Friend, How do we end this? How do we stop this thing from drifting into lies? My Friend, I know that Ill hurt you I wish I could heal your pain by saying I love you It hurts to be true It hurts.... When the shadow of these darker days has passed My friend you'll thank me for this When your heart is filled with someone else you'll look back at me and blow me a kiss Choir: In another place and time Lead vocal: I might have kissed you. I might have drowned in your eyes Choir: Things could have been so different: Lead Vocal: I let you trust me. I let you dream it could be Choir: Some things aren't meant to be Lead Vocal: Why did I let it go this far, why do I have to break your heart, I think you know it has to end here Choir: It has to end here (overlapping) My friend, I don't deserve you You're already everything that I could ever be My friend, don't cry for too long All that you wish for babe will someday come to you And you'll hurt me too It hurts to be true It hurts to be true And you'll hurt me too |
Short Song Description: A different angle on the traditional love song. He knows she wants him to say 'I love you' but he can't say it. He does care for the friendship so much that he does not want to hurt her. |
