I told you to tell her that you love her
I told you to tell her what's on your mind
Cause you found love but only to lose it
You found a love that makes you feel so sad

You can't forget the nights you've known her
You can't forget the way she combs her hair
I know how you feel you're not the first one
You can never be sure you'll never be the last

Don't hurt the one you love
Don't hurt the one who cares
Just leave it all to things that matter
Love her while she's there

Don't hurt the one you love
Don't hurt the one who cares
Cause when you leave her alone
You'll find out she's not there

Now that she's lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow all the time
Holding back hoping she comes tomorrow
Hoping that there's a second time

Don't hurt the one you love
Don't hurt the one who cares
Just leave it all to things that matter
Love her while she's there
Oh, Don't hurt the one you love
Don't hurt the one who cares
Cause when you leave her alone
You'll find out she's not there
