I Could Hurt You Now
This is for the one who was falseWho taught me about building wallsOne who always could turn it aroundTo leave me there on shaky ground
This is for the one who made goodIn someone else's neighborhoodOne who never was anything butThe shifty eye of sheer bad luck
Once I thought that I would never forgetAnd I have not quite done that yet
But I could hurt you nowI could hurt you now
This is for the time that I lostThe death of who I thought I wasThe things in which I cannot believeFor fear I'll wear them on my sleeve
Things I know that never will be returnedBut I crossed that bridge before it burned
So I could hurt you nowI could hurt you nowListen, sonny boyYou just don't get it, do you?I could hurt you nowI'll tell you what I'll doI'll get that message to you
Maybe it leaves an invisible scarBut I have not come quite that far
But I could hurt you nowListen, sonny boyYou just don't get it, do you?I could hurt you nowI'll tell you what I'll doI'll get that message to you
