I Could Hurt You Back

[Verse 1]
I’ve been quiet
Chewing on a thousand lines
All the things I’d throw like knives
If I wanted you to bleed
I could say I never loved you
Say I barely even tried
That I walk past our old places
And I never even think

[Chorus]
I could hurt you back
I could twist the past
I could paint you out
Like you were always bad
I could say my life
Is perfect since you left
But every word would be a weapon
And every word would be a lie
So I won’t
I won’t

[Verse 2]
You burned the bridge
Then laughed like it was just a joke
Left our letters in a box
Like receipts you didn’t need
Acted like the years were nothing
Loose change in your backseat
And I swallowed every comeback
Till my chest began to sting

[Chorus]
I could hurt you back
I could curse your name
Tell your friends the parts
You’re terrified to face
I could say my life
Is better than it’s ever been
But every word would be a weapon
And every word would be a lie
So I won’t
I won’t

[Bridge]
You threw us away
Like it weighed you down
I live with the weight
You don’t feel it now
I’m shaking with things
You will never hear
Choosing peace over power
While you disappear (yeah)

[Chorus]
I could hurt you back
Watch you come undone
I could make you feel
Half of what you’ve done
I could say I’m glad
You walked out of my life
But every word would be a weapon
And every word would be a lie
So I won’t
I won’t
I let you keep your story
And I walk out of yours tonight
