Ta-

king

it

slow-

ly

I'm

a-

fraid

to

be

lone-

ly

No-

bo-

dy

told

me

It's

har-

der

than

I

thought

to

tell

the

truth

It's

gon-

na

leave

you

in

pie-

ces

All

a-

lone

with

your

de-

mons

And

I

know

that

we

need

this

But

I've

been

too

a-

fraid

to

fol-

low

through

Hold

me

close

and

I

won't

leave

'Cause

it

hurts

when

you

hurt

some-

bo-

dy

So

much

to

say

but

I

don't

speak

And

I

hate

that

I

let

you

stop

me

'Cause

it

hurts

when

you

hurt

some-

bo-

dy

Don't

know

where

the

time

went

Stuck

in

the

wrong

mind-

set

I

let

the

rules

bend

When

I

know

that

all

a-

long

they're

made

to

break

You

got

me

sear-

ching

for

rea-

sons

To

keep

me

from

lea-

ving

At

night

I

have

trou-

ble

brea-

thing

I

give

my-

self

a-

no-

ther

chance

to

stay

Hold

me

close

and

I

won't

leave

'Cause

it

hurts

when

you

hurt

some-

bo-

dy

So

much

to

say

And

I

'Cause

when

you

hurt

some-

bo-

One

day

be-

fore

you

know

it,

you

will

see

All

of

the

pain

and

all

the

i-

ro-

ny

You'll

feel

the

sting

and

then

you'll

think

of

me

'Cause

it

hurts

when

you

hurt

Hold

me

close

and

I

won't

'Cause
