[Verse 1] Hold me in the morning When I can't stand myself Love me without warning You know I need your help Before we get much higher And we lose ourselves Just to keep from drowning [Pre-Chorus] Everyday we fall apart Seems like it's not news now Told you for the sake of art I love it when you hold me down [Chorus] If you build me up Then I will hold you down Hold you down Oh If you build me up Then I will hold you down Hold you down Just don't hurt me, don't hurt me Just don't hurt me, don't hurt me (Ha ha ha-ha-ha ha, ha ha ha-ha-ha ha) (Ha ha ha-ha-ha ha, ha ha ha-ha-ha ha) Just don't hurt me, don't hurt me [Verse 2] You still feel like home And I hate it You need me to smile So I fake It You've lovеd me through all of my phases And I'm still trying to hold on Even whеn it feels wrong It's easy for you to let go and I notice [Pre-Chorus 2] Everyday we fall apart Seems like it's not news now Told you for the sake of art I love it when you hold me down [Chorus] If you build me up Then I will hold you down Hold you down Oh If you build me up Then I will hold you down Hold you down Just don't hurt me, don't hurt me Just don't hurt me, don't hurt me [Bridge] I've already given in As much as I can it's Killing me slowly If you're gonna leave at least Try to remember me Not the way that it was But the way that I could make you complete [Chorus] If you build me up Then I will hold you down Hold you down Oh If you build me up then Then I will hold you down Hold you down Just don't hurt me, don't hurt me (Ha ha ha-ha-ha ha, ha ha ha-ha-ha ha) (Ha ha ha-ha-ha ha, ha ha) (Ha ha ha-ha-ha ha, ha ha ha-ha-ha ha) (Ha ha ha-ha-ha ha, ha ha)
