[Verse 1]
I wish you were a bad man, I wish you made it easier
I wish you'd done something unforgivable...
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause holding onto you
Is that all I can do until I learn
The hands around my throat
Are my own
[Chorus]
Don't let me know if it hurts, if it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close but you can't let me go
[Refrain]
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
[Verse 2]
I wish I never met you, now I gotta forget again
I wish you didn't know me so damn well
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmmmm....
Don't tell me that you're scared
Every time that I'm not (she isn't) there
Don't you open up my heart again
[Chorus]
Oh, don't let me know if it hurts, if it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close but you can't let go
[Refrain]
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
[Bridge]
If you think there's a chance you can fall again
That you've tried and you've failed to stop loving me
[Chorus]
Don't let me know if it hurts, if it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close but you can't let go
[Refrain]
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
