  • Oh, did I say something wrong?
    Oh, did I walk out of step?
    To you, do I still belong?
    Do I have to be scared?
    Oh, I'm not saying I know, it's all feeling unclear
    We all like control, I surrender to you, dear

    You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see
    I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me
    We used to laugh, we used to sing
    We used to dance, we had our own scene
    You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see
    I think you're hurting yourself 'cause to hurt me
    We used to laugh, we used to sing
    We used to dance, we used to believe

    There's something I should've known?
    Was I acting too proud?
    Oh, in my weakness, did I somehow get too loud?
    Oh, can I get you alone?
    Oh, let me fall at your feet
    Why must I be compelled to admit defeat?

    You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see
    I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me
    We used to laugh, we used to sing
    We used to dance, we were our own scene
    Hurting yourself, nothing to tell
    Your secret is well and safe with me
    We used to laugh, we used to sing
    We used to crash, we used to believe

    I hear the voices calling, hear the voices calling
    All around my head, all around my head
    Hear the voices calling, oh, again they're calling
    All around my head, have I lost my friend?
    Is this what we've become? One last setting sun
    I'll give, but I can't give up, I'll live, not long enough
    To stop these voices calling, stop the voices calling
    All around my head, as if you never left

    You're hurting yourself, it's plain to see
    I think you're hurting yourself just to hurt me
    We used to laugh, we used to sing
    We used to dance, we had our own scene
    Hurting yourself, it's plain to see
    I think you're hurting yourself 'cause you hurt me
    We used to laugh, we used to drink
    We used to dance, we used to believe

    Oh-oh, whoa
