  • Taking it slowly
    I'm afraid to be lonely
    Nobody told me
    It's harder than I thought to tell the truth
    It's gonna leave you in pieces
    All alone with your demons
    And I know that we need this
    But I've been too afraid to follow through

    Hold me close and I won't leave
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
    So much to say but I don't speak
    And I hate that I let you stop me
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody

    Don't know where the time went
    Stuck in the wrong mindset
    And I let the rules bend
    When I know that all along they're made to break
    Ayy-hey, you got me searching for reasons
    To keep me from leaving
    At night I have trouble breathing
    I give myself another chance to stay, ayy

    Hold me close and I won't leave
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
    So much to say but I don't speak
    And I hate that I let you stop me
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody, mm

    One day before you know it, you will see
    All of the pain and all the irony, yeah
    You'll feel the stinging and you'll think of me
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt

    Hold me close and I won't leave
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
    So much to say but I don't speak
    And I hate that I let you stop me (oh)
    Hold me close and I won't leave (I won't leave)
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody (yeah)
    So much to say but I don't speak
    And I hate that I let you stop me
    'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody (somebody) Writer/s: Noah Kahan, Scott Harris
