Lyrics

Hurt Me Now

[Verse 1]

In a burning building

I was boiling over

With a head of ashes

On a bed of stone

[Chorus 1]

Oh, can you hear me now?

Oh, don't hurt me now

[Verse 2]

In the velvet calm

Willing, undone

Placed my heart on the table

And the fire comes

[Chorus 2]

Oh, don't hurt me now

Oh, don't hurt me now

[Verse 3]

Have I become

Willing, undone?

You put the temple

Into the ground

[Chorus 3]

Oh, please don't hurt me now

Oh, don't hurt me now

[Bridge]

In the velvet calm

Had I known the help

What I would have done their building

What I would have done

Had I had a hundred fathers

Don't hurt me now

Had I been a king

How I would have gone

Don't hurt me now

[Chorus 2]

Oh, don't hurt me now

Oh, don't hurt me now

[Chorus 2]

Oh, don't hurt me now

Oh, don't hurt me now
