[Chorus]
I swear I never meant to hurt you
Make you cry
I'll never let you close enough to say goodbye
I'm only pulling on your heartstrings
For the moment, no emotion
I'm only gonna hurt you
Make you cry
Make you cry

[Verse 1]
Can you tell me why
You think you can change me?
Think you can save me from myself?
Dressed in white
Maybe I'll break you
Maybe I'll take you right to Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't feel a thing
All this novocaine
Running through my heart
I can't feel a thing
Numbing all the pain
Yeah, I'll take the blame (Oh)
[Chorus]
I swear I never meant to hurt you
Make you cry
I'll never let you close enough to say goodbye
I'm only pulling on your heartstrings
For the moment, no emotion
I'm only gonna hurt you
Make you cry
Make you cry
Cry

[Verse 2]
When the night's growing cold
And your tears, they shed
Don't you save your breath
By the time that I'm done
There'll be nothing left
There'll be nothing left (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't feel a thing
All this novocaine
Running through my heart
I can't feel a thing
Numbing out the pain
Yeah, I'll take the blame
[Chorus]
I swear I never meant to hurt you
Make you cry
I'll never let you close enough to say goodbye
I'm only pulling on your heartstrings
For the moment, no emotion
I'm only gonna hurt you
Make you cry
Make you cry
Make you cry
Cry

[Outro]
I don't wanna make you cry
But when I do, I won't feel a thing
When I do, I won't feel a thing
I don't wanna make you cry
But when I do, I won't feel a thing
When I do, I won't feel a thing
No, no, no
