A Punch Would Hurt Less

You were part of me for a while
I had such a huge emotional dependence
But I freed myself from the person I loved most
I'm a monster for hurting you
But it was necessary

I only had you to accompany me, and kill me
You wanted to pass me off as crazy, but I realized who you were
Love is letting go
And I left

Everything was happening around me, but I pretended not to see
I think a punch would hurt less
Than your words
I think a punch would hurt less
Than your lies

Your speeches seemed to hypnotize me
I was afraid of losing
But I realized that I was actually afraid of you
I'm a show for hurting you, but it was necessary

I felt my insides dissipate
The red roses you gave me were my blood
The cords you gave me hanged me
The photo frames were our insistent photos
The rings were a ring of fire that burned me inside

Everything was happening around me, but I pretended not to see
I think a punch would hurt less
Than my broken feelings
I think a punch would hurt less
Than your horrible surprises

I needed to end all this
I needed to break it all
I needed to leave all this
I needed to get over all this

Baby should I have left you?
Baby should I have hurt you?
Baby should I have broken you?
Love, you're nothing but a memory
Love, you're nothing but a memory

Everything was happening around me, but I pretended not to see
I think a punch would hurt less
Than your words
I think a punch would hurt less
Than your lies

I left everything behind but my heart
I'm a monster for hurting you, but it was necessary
I left everything behind but my heart
I'm a monster for hurting you, but it was necessary
Love, you're nothing but a memory
What a lie of mine
