Yeah, the right thing to do would be to let me down easy
Yeah, the right thing to do would be to just come clean
But since you don't have an honest bone in your body
And you can't seem to tell the truth
I'm gonna have to do it for you

This is gonna hurt
This is gonna ache
This is gonna sting like a bite from a rattle snake
This is gonna burn
This is gonna break
Just like every promise that you make
Tears are gonna fall
Baby, after all is said and done
You better believe
This is gonna hurt you more than it's gonna hurt me

There's a tiny piece of me that feels sorry for you
As I hear your four wheel pull up in my drive
'Cause you have no idea what you're walking in to
Oh, but honey I can't lie
It kind of makes it sweeter

This is gonna hurt
This is gonna ache
This is gonna sting like a bite from a rattle snake
This is gonna burn
This is gonna break
Just like every promise that you make
Tears are gonna fall
Baby, after all is said and done
You better believe
This is gonna hurt you more than it's gonna hurt me
Yeah
Oh yeah

For every ounce of pain I've felt
Boy, you'd better brace yourself

This is gonna hurt
This is gonna ache
This is gonna sting like a bite from a rattle snake
This is gonna burn
This is gonna break
Just like every promise that you make
Tears are gonna fall
Baby, after all is said and done
You better believe
This is gonna hurt you more than
This is gonna hurt you more than it's gonna hurt me

This is gonna hurt you
This is gonna hurt
This is gonna break
This is gonna hurt you
This is gonna hurt you
