Do You Really Want To Hurt Me Lyrics

    I needed time to realize my crime
    It was let me love & steal
    I did dances inside my mind
    Now how can i be real
    Do you really want to hurt me?
    Do you really want to make me cry?
    No i don t really want to hurt you then
    Lovers always asked me:
    Why why why why
    In my mind my memory's burning
    What's your favorite color of your favorite car?
    I took a step the step was learning
    That that's a step beyond a step too far
    Do you really want to hurt me?
    Do you really want to make me cry?
    No i don't really want to hurt you
    I told the truth but it was still a lie
    The words are few some are unspoken
    I could sleep four thousand years
    Man of sorrows
    Word unbroken
    His sweat like blood came down like tears
    I've been talking but believe me
    I know that it's true
    Now that there's no more
    I don't know
    I'm in love and love's the reason
    I'm not prepared to let you let me go so
    If it's love you want
    Then take all of me
    It's this love i want i can finally see
    Do i really want to hurt you?
    Do i really want to make you cry?
    Yes i suppose i want to hurt you
    You told the truth but it was still a lie
