I saw you standing in the street Bitten lips and flushed cheeks The traffic slows around me I feel the world collapse beneath my feet I can hear a siren In the distance someone's daughter screams Watch my heart drop and shatter around me Fall like ash in the lines of the concrete Hear it scatter, splinter through the sound Just one look took the wind out my sails Like a chalkboard and the scratch of a nail Hit me Hit me where it hurts Touch me like you mean it You couldn't have meant worse Oh, hit me Hit me where it hurts Kiss me till I'm bleeding It's not like you're the first Turn on my heels to flee the scene I feel the image burning in my brain Eyes water from the sting Now every fingerprints an ugly stain Under the glow of streetlights Did I just see us In another life? A punch to the gut and a twist of the knife A lick of the wound and a bark for your bite It all comes down to a fist in a fight A fist in a fight Hit me Hit me where it hurts Touch me like you mean it You couldn't have meant worse Oh, hit me Hit me where it hurts Kiss me till I'm bleeding It's not like you're the first Ooh Tell me darling If you're honest Do you still Remember August I won't tell her If you promise Hit me Hit me where it hurts Touch me like you mean it You couldn't have meant worse Hit me Hit me where it hurts Kiss me till I'm bleeding It's not like you're the first
