The Hurt
John Mayer

I'm a good man

In a dark room

In a big town

Under a full moon

It's a friday and I'm almost home


I'm in a good place

Full of head space

Got a brand new pack in my suitcase

But it's dinner and then it's bed alone

How do you break a mended heart?

I'm bored and want something to do


I wanna fall, fall asleep

Asleep in the arms, the arms of a woman

A woman who doesn't, doesn't deserve my love


I wanna lie, lie to myself

Myself and someone else

Just to feel something, something that hurts me

The hurt makes me feel alive


Gonna make it, like I need her

Gonna miss her the moment I meet her

And it's only gonna get worse from there


I'll be rappin' there in the shower

She'll be here by the end of the hour

I can do better

But I can't do better now


How do you break a mended heart?

I'm bored and want something to do


I wanna fall, fall asleep

Asleep in the arms, the arms of a woman

A woman who doesn't, doesn't deserve my love


I wanna lie, lie to myself

Myself and someone else

Just to feel something, something that hurts me

The hurt makes me feel alive


So long is over

Nice to skip the chance you get to know you

Why did I think this was true?

Because I want to


I wanna fall, fall asleep

Asleep in the arms, the arms of a woman

A woman who doesn't, doesn't deserve my love


I wanna lie, lie to myself

Myself and someone else

Just to feel something, something that hurts me

The hurt makes me feel alive


I wanna fall

I wanna need

I wanna laugh, cry, say goodbye

Beg, lie, cheat and steal
