I've been living for too long
With a feeling something's wrong
Like a thorn stuck in my side
Just out of reach for me to pull it out
Now the picture's crystal clear
I can see that the end is near
We no longer have to pretend
All things have got to come to an end

This is gonna hurt
This is gonna hurt you
This is gonna hurt you
More than it hurts me
And I don't wanna hurt
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
That's how it's gonna be

And they say what doesn't kill you
Well, I'm sure you know the rest
If you'd shut up for a second
I could get this off my chest
'Cause I've been through way too much
And we've grown so out of touch
Now we can't see eye to eye
It's time to kiss it goodbye

This is gonna hurt
This is gonna hurt you
This is gonna hurt you
More than it hurts me
And I don't wanna hurt
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
That's how it's gonna be

This is gonna hurt you
That's how it's gonna be
This is gonna hurt you

Can't you see the writing on the wall?
One more step before I end it all
Closing my eyes, holding my breath
Finish it now, get it over with
Can't you see the writing on the wall?
One more step before I end it all
Closing my eyes, holding my breath
Finish it now, get it over with

This is gonna hurt
This is gonna hurt you
This is gonna hurt you
More than it hurts me
And I don't wanna hurt
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
That's how it's gonna be

That's how it's gonna be
That's how it's gonna be
That's how it's gonna be
