Lyrics

[Verse 1] You hate New York, but I love it You see floor, I look above it To the high rise and skylines Dreams are made sometimes Off Broadway & 3rd You don't talking when things get broken So we just keep walking and it Stays unspoken and I live with the pieces While you remain speechless, unheard [Pre-Chorus] But if I could go back to the imperfect, then I would 'Cause it's worth the pain For the times that it was good [Chorus] Why does it hurt like this? Why do I feel the knife? You must have put it there when I put both my arms right around you, around you Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love To l-l-l-l-love you? Why did you build a lifeboat only to watch it sink? Why did you disappear the second that I needed to find you, to find you? Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love To l-l-l-l-love you? [Verse 2] You don't like people so you avoid them And precious moments, you destroy them While I wrote you the verses, you may feel worthless So I just stop writing [Pre-Chorus] But if I could go back to the imperfect, then I would 'Cause it's worth the pain For the times that it was good [Chorus] Why does it hurt like this? Why do I feel the knife? You must have put it there when I put both my arms right around you, around you Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love To l-l-l-l-love you? Why did you build a lifeboat only to watch it sink? Why did you disappear the second that I needed to find you, to find you? Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love To l-l-l-l-love you? [Bridge] And if I could say what I needed to say I'd be the first one admitting that I made mistakes 'Cause I make mistakes And if I could heal all the scars that you hide I'd take them all, I would mix them with mine If you would be kind And l-love me one more time [Chorus] Why does it hurt like this? (Why does it hurt like this?) Why do I feel the knife? You must have put it there when I put both my arms right around you, around you Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love (When I put my arms right around you) To l-l-l-l-love you? Why did you build a lifeboat only to watch it sink? Why did you disappear the second that I needed to find you, to find you? Why does it hurt so bad to l-l-love To l-l-l-l-love you?
