I should have told him
That i needed him
When i had the chance
And now he's left me
And it's all over
Goodbye romance
I should have told him then
Over and over again
That i love him

But, it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That's what i thought
Was being so smart

The way i cheated him
And mistreated him
How could i forget?
I was so sure that he
Would always trust in me
Oh, that i'd take a bet, no, no, no
He'd never say goodbye
But here all alone am i
He is gone now, ahh, 'cause

It was easier to hurt him
What could i do?
(it was) easier to hurt him
I should have known better
That's what i thought
Was being so smart, oh, oh
It was easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
(it was) easier to hurt him
What did i do?
(it was) easier to hurt him
I should have known better
(it was) easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
