Love dont hurt like this

I've been lying to myself saying time will heal
But every night I feel the same ache I try not to feel
I've been holding on to pieces of a love that let me bleed
Trying to convince my heart it's something that I need

But baby love ain't supposed to feel like this
It ain't supposed to leave scars where there should've been a kiss
I'm tired of watering flowers that never grow
Tired of loving people who don't treat me like I'm worth gold

Why do I give my all to those who give me half
Why do I stay hoping pain will turn to something that lasts
I'm done praying for a heart that never stays
Done waiting for someone who keeps walking away

'Cause love don't hurt like this
Love don't break your spirit with a single kiss
Love don't make you question if you're worth the risk
Love don't hurt
Love don't hurt like this
I'm craving something gentle something real
A kind of love that lets my heart finally heal

I've been crying in the dark tryna hide the sound
Covering my mouth so the pain won't spill out loud
I keep telling myself you deserve so much more
But it's hard to believe when you've been hurt to your core

I want a love that whispers peace into my bones
Not one that leaves me feeling more alone
I want arms that pull me close not push me away
A heart that chooses mine at the end of every day

Why does comfort feel like something out of reach
Why does loving me turn people into someone I can't keep
I'm done giving chances to the same heartbreak
Done letting the wrong ones decide what I take

'Cause love don't hurt like this
Love don't break your spirit with a single kiss
Love don't make you question if you're worth the risk
Love don't hurt
Love don't hurt like this
I'm craving something gentle something real
A kind of love that lets my heart finally heal

Hold me slow
Talk to me like you see my soul
Love me right
Stay when the world feels cold at night
Show me love that doesn't leave
Love that lets me finally breathe

'Cause love don't hurt like this
Love don't break your spirit with a single kiss
Love don't make you doubt the beauty you possess
Love don't hurt
Love don't hurt like this
