Till I Hurt You

When did I know it was over?
When did I hear the record scratch?
Why did I say that I loved you
just before I turned my back?

Last night I had a dream we were together
But I woke up to an empty hollow room
Did I help you build these walls we have between us?
Or did it creep up like the blood beneath the bruise?

And I never knew who I was-
till I met you
And I never knew what love was-
till you held me the whole night through
And I never knew what hurt was-
till I hurt you.

Stare at the screen to remember
Blue light try to take me back
The photographs say we were happy
I guess I needed more than that

Last night I read the stars were in my favor
That I'd find another romance in my time
What I needed was to know that I could labor
For a person who deserves a happy life

And I never knew who I was-
till I met you
And I never knew what love was-
till you held me the whole night through
And I never knew what hurt was-
till I hurt you.

Be careful what you wish for, dear
Is it everything you hoped for now?
Did you know what you were in for?
No
Can't have one without the other, no
Is that what I discovered, oh
If I could change me for you, I would
'Cause

And I never knew who I was-
till I met you
And I never knew what love was-
till you held me the whole night through
And I never knew what hurt was-
till I hurt you.

And I never knew who I was-
till I met you
And I never knew what love was-
till you held me the whole night through
And I never knew what hurt was-
till I hurt you.
