Mmh

He said
"Enter at your own risk
I am not responsible
For the misery I will bring you
It's just a matter of time
Before I start to destroy you
Let me warn you"

I said
"Take your time boy
Let's see what you got boy
I've dealt with worse boy
Let's see who breaks who first
And it won't be my first time, time"

Cry all you need
Just let it bleed
Cry all you need
Just let it bleed
Cry all you need
Just let it bleed
Cry all you need
Just let it bleed (ohh)

I should've taken the first shot
But I thought you were something that you're not
I blame it all on my soft spot
'Cause that's the only way I got caught
But that's not the only reason I'm hurt
I know I should've been way more alert
I cared for you more than anything
And you hurt me more than anything
And that was a heavy thing
You should've known that loving me is a risk
And you should've known that
Breaking my heart is a risk
You broke your own heart
And you played the right part, mmh (ooh)

I said
"Take your time boy
Let's see what you got boy
I've dealt with worse boy
Let's see who breaks who first
And it won't be my first time, time"

Cry all you need
Just let it bleed
Cry all you need
Just let it bleed
Cry all you need
Just let it bleed




Cry all you need
Just let it bleed

He warned me that getting involved with him would be risky and that he wouldn't take any responsibility for the damage he might cause.


I said "Take your time boy Let's see what you got boy I've dealt with worse boy Let's see who breaks who first And it won't be my first time, time"
I challenged him to give it his best shot and let's see who ends up hurting more.

It's okay to cry and let it all out. Don't hold back.

I regret giving him a chance because I thought he was someone he's not. I should've listened to my instincts and not given in to my soft spot for him. He hurt me deeply and it's hard to take.

He should've known that getting involved with me would've been risky and that breaking my heart would have consequences for him too. He played his role in breaking our hearts.
