[Chorus]

I swear I never meant to hurt you

Make you cry

I'll never let you close enough to say goodbye

I'm only pulling on your heartstrings

For the moment, no emotion

I'm only gonna hurt you

Make you cry

Make you cry

[Verse 1]

Can you tell me why

You think you can change me?

Think you can save me from myself?

Dressed in white

Maybe I'll break you

Maybe I'll take you right to Hell

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't feel a thing

All this novocaine

Running through my heart

I can't feel a thing

Numbing all the pain

Yeah, I'll take the blame (Oh)

[Chorus]

I swear I never meant to hurt you

Make you cry

I'll never let you close enough to say goodbye

I'm only pulling on your heartstrings

For the moment, no emotion

I'm only gonna hurt you

Make you cry

Make you cry

Cry

[Verse 2]

When the night's growing cold

And your tears, they shed

Don't you save your breath

By the time that I'm done

There'll be nothing left

There'll be nothing left (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't feel a thing

All this novocaine

Running through my heart

I can't feel a thing

Numbing out the pain

Yeah, I'll take the blame

[Chorus]

I swear I never meant to hurt you

Make you cry

I'll never let you close enough to say goodbye

I'm only pulling on your heartstrings

For the moment, no emotion

I'm only gonna hurt you

Make you cry

Make you cry

Make you cry

Cry

[Outro]

I don't wanna make you cry

But when I do, I won't feel a thing

When I do, I won't feel a thing

I don't wanna make you cry

But when I do, I won't feel a thing

When I do, I won't feel a thing

No, no, no
