​be hurt

I don't wanna be hurt
I don't wanna be hurt
I don't wanna be hurt
I don't wanna be hurt

Is it so much to ask for?
Is it too hard to take?
Is it a struggle to process?
Does it leave a bad taste?

That you can't brush out?
Or drink it away?
You hold hands with your girlfriend
And you say hi to me

I'll be your best friend
In another state
And if that's how you like it
Then I'll go away

'Cause I don't wanna be hurt
I don't wanna be hurt
I don't wanna be hurt
I don't wanna be hurt
I don't want to be hurt
