Who Hurt You?

  • I was blinded by the lies
    And the manufactured smile
    The devil went down to Georgia
    Then he crossed the 'Bama line

    So casually convincing
    The dream you sold was glistening
    So cruel but always kidding
    Are you kidding?

    And I heard what they were thinking
    She ignored the warning signs
    But if you flew across the world for them
    They too would change their mind

    I guess I should've known
    I'd be out here all alone
    In the mess you made, it was all just fake
    How did you get so cold?
    And no, I wouldn't take you back
    But what makes it all a little sad
    Is knowing I wasn't the first
    And I know I won't be the last
    Heart you break in half
    To throw right in the trash
    Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?

    Hometown happy hours
    The hand-delivered flowers
    You looked me in the eyes and told me what was yours was ours
    And when I tried to run
    Pump the brakes, just call it fun
    You'd cosplay someone with feelings
    Oh, l've never felt more dumb

    'Cause all of that for nothing
    I just don't understand
    To know you hurt a girl like me
    Do you feel more like a man?

    I guess I should've known
    I'd be out here all alone
    In the mess you made, it was all just fake
    How did you get so cold?
    And no, I wouldn't take you back
    But what makes it all a little sad
    Is knowing I wasn't the first
    And I know I won't be the last
    Heart you break in half
    To throw right in the trash
    Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?

    You said you needed less flashy, more fun
    Oh, of course she's twenty one
    On your arm through the bar
    God, I hate how gross you are

    And how did I not see it?
    Your ego, it needs feeding
    Endlessly, relentlessly
    At the cost of me
    And I'll move on, and I'll find better
    But you'll stay the same forever
    And ever, happy never

    I guess now I know
    I'd rather be alone
    Than in the mess you made, it was all so fake
    How does it not get old?
    And no, I wouldn't take you back
    But what makes it all a little sad
    Is knowing I wasn't the first
    And I know I won't be the last
    Heart you break in half
    To throw right in the trash
    Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad? Writer/s: Jessie Jo Dillon, Luke Laird, Megan Moroney
