Don’t stab me on the same wound
Choose a different spot to hit
Don’t hurt me the same old way
Choose a different line to say
Don’t make me how I once was
Choose a different shade of me
Don’t make me cry for thee
Simply because it hurts
Don’t sing a song for me
When you don’t mean it
Don’t circle around me
When I didn’t invite you
But if you do all things
Then in the end don’t hate me
Because it hurts
If you know you would leave
Then don’t intrude in my life
If you know your plan all along
Then don’t make plans for me
Don’t make promises
When you know you’d break them
Because then it hurts someone
Don’t you stab anyone on an old wound
Pick a new spot to hit
Because otherwise it hurts.
