I wish you were a bad man
I wish you made it easier
I wish you'd done something unforgivable
'Cause holding onto you is that all I can do until
I learn the hands around my throat are my own
Don't let me know if it hurts
If it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close
But you can't let me go
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know

I wish I never met you
Now I gotta forget again
I wish you didn't know me
So damn well
Mm... Don't tell me that you're scared
Every time that I'm not [she isn't] there
Don't you open up my heart again

Oh, don't let me know if it hurts
If it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close
But you can't let go
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know

If you think there's a chance you can fall again
That you've tried and you've failed to stop loving me

Don't let me know if it hurts
If it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close
But you can't let go
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
