[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)
