You Always Hurt the Ones You Love (Poem) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You always hurt the ones you love
That's why I had to twist the blade
Goodbyes ain't my forte
Hat tipped, you go your way
You'll never meet a girl like me
I'll never meet a boy like you
No-one who knew what we went through
Would designate us someone new

[Verse 2]
As black as Fat Kams' market trade
White as the rap sheet of a dove
This is the way you switched the blade
You always hurt the ones you love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
