What was going through my mind, I can't tell
From the moment that we met
I never fell in love with you
Like you wanted me to

And the complicating factor, I can say
Is from the moment that we met
I knew I'd break your heart in two
What a thing to do

So if you wanna hit me, take a swing
If you wanna hurt me, make it sting
So if you wanna hit me, take a swing
If you wanna hurt me, make it sting
Make it sting

Maybe I don't have a heart in this chest
But babe, I'm telling you, it's still for the best
Better men will sweep
You off your lovely feet

And I know when looking back in a year from now
I'll be kicking myself letting you walk out
I'll be sitting alone
Wishing you'd come home

So if you wanna cuss me, use your lungs
If you wanna curse me, use your tongue
So if you wanna cuss me, use your lungs
If you wanna curse me, use your tongue
Use your tongue

But don't think for a moment I can't tell
I've been living for years inside my hell
The only girl I love
Loves somebody else

So hang me from a post, I'll keep still
You can use a couple nails, it's my will
So hang me from a post, I'll keep still
You can use a couple nails, it's my will
So hang me from a post, I'll keep still
You can use a couple nails, it's my will

So hang me from a post
Hang me from a post
Hang me from a post
