[Verse 1]
Is it cruel or is it kind? I can't decide
Should I stay another night to be polite?
Already left you in my mind a thousand times
I feel like a fool to do this to you
After everything we've been through
But every night, I'm living a lie
As I lay down beside you

[Chorus]
I hate to hurt you, baby
And I try to hide these feelings
Oh, it breaks my heart to say it
I wish there was another way
I hate to hurt you, baby
And I try to hide these feelings
Oh, it breaks my heart to say it
I wish there was another way

[Verse 2]
I'll miss your skin, I'll miss your touch, I'll miss the rush
I'll miss your body on my body, but it's not enough
But I've been dreaming of somebody else
I don't know what to do with myself

[Chorus]
I hate to hurt you, baby
And I've tried to hide these feelings
Oh, it breaks my heart to say it
I wish there was another way
I hate to hurt you, baby
And I've tried to hide these feelings
Oh, it breaks my heart to say it
I wish there was another way
[Chorus]
I hate to hurt you, baby
And I've tried to hide these feelings
Oh, it breaks my heart to say it
I wish there was another way
I hate to hurt you, baby
And I've tried to hide these feelings
Oh, it breaks my heart to say it
I wish there was another way
