I've done some bad things
This I know
If I can't change things
Tell me so

It does no good to break your toe on the wall
I know you're angry
That's all right
I said I don't care

Well, I lied
But I don't care who wins the fight after all
As long as you don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself

It's bad enough
Don't hurt yourself
I wouldn't want to see you make
Trouble for yourself over

My mistake
That's all I'm asking so
Don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself

I don't want to see you hurt
Hurt a single second for me
You burn your bridges
When you're cross

There's nothing left when
You cool off
You can't go back so
Now you're lost like a rolling stone

It seems like trouble
So you hide
You keep it bottled up inside
'Til its too late and

You end up crying alone
And there you go
