What Hurt the Most

[Verse 1]
I’ve emptied myself
I’ve stripped myself naked
And let you see me in the raw
By your side, I thought I’d make it
Instead I felt myself fall

I didn’t want to come off self absorbed
With all the heart breaks,
And fresh scars exposed
But when I wore my heart on my sleeve,
I guess I hoped
it wouldn’t fall at your feet
But you watched,
and that’s what hurt the most, ohhhh

[CHORUS]
And what hurts the most
Is I stripped away my identity
For the sake of transparency
I was completely exposed
And you took all my words
And chewed them back at me

What hurts the most
Are all the push pins you sank
on frail skin , when I let you in
And what hurts the most
Is that I honestly caved in
And believed your words
And that’s what hurts the most

[VERSE 2]
Sharing the pieces that were left of me
I Laid out all the cards, for you to stare vacantly
You picked them apart, and then you tore out my heart
The silent question once you saw all of me:
Was I enough to fit your wildest dreams?
A sore winner of sorts, I suppose
And that’s
what
hurt the most
Ohhhh

[CHORUS]
And what hurts the most
Is I stripped away my identity
For the sake of transparency
I was completely exposed
And you took all my words
And chewed them back at me
What hurts the most
Are all the push pins you sank
on frail skin , when I let you in
And what hurts the most
Is that I honestly caved in
And believed your words
And that’s what hurts the most

Ohhhh,
Ohhh,

[Bridge]
Oh, I was desperate
And needy
Painfully,
seeking
For someone
To stop the bleeding
Wanting that someone
to be you
But you stared
While I cried
That look in your eye
Told me that you knew,
You knew (you knew)
You knew (you knew)
what hurt the most
