Hurt You First
Niia Lyrics

You're too good to me
You treat me so well, it's almost unbelievable.

Fill me up when my glass looks empty
You make me feel whole when I feel like something is missing.

You always try to see A better version of me
You encourage me to be the best version of myself.

I'm never waiting 'Cause I know that you'll always make it
I don't need to worry about you failing because you always come through.

And I can't take it You're just too calculated
However, your perfection is starting to feel like it's not genuine.

It's you or me who breaks it all I can barely face it
We are both accountable for any problems in our relationship, which makes it hard for me to handle.

It's you or me who takes the fall And I can barely take it
When one of us messes up, it hurts both of us and is difficult for me to handle.

So I'm gonna hurt, I'm gonna hurt you first I'm gonna hurt, I'm gonna hurt you first I'll be the one who makes you cry I'll be the one who gets to decide Oh, I'm gonna hurt you first
To protect myself from getting hurt, I'm going to hurt you before you have a chance to hurt me. I want to be the one in control and cause you pain before you can do the same to me.

Are you guilty? Is there a secret that you're hiding?
I'm starting to doubt your intentions and wonder if you're hiding something from me.

My prince charming I guess it's all a case of timing
Despite everything, I still see you as my perfect match. But maybe it's just not the right time for us.

Can you blame me? For protecting myself, baby
I have to look out for myself, even if it means hurting you in the process.

You're too perfect Too perfectly orchestrated
Your perfection feels orchestrated and fake, which is causing me to question our relationship.

Always someone breaks it
It seems like there is always something going wrong in our relationship.

Gonna make you cry Gonna say goodbye I'm gonna say good Gonna make you cry, ooh ever be Try to say goodbye Gonna hurt you first I'm gonna hurt you first I'm gonna make you cry (I'll be the one who makes you cry) I'll be the one who gets to decide Oh, I'm gonna hurt you first
I am determined to be the one who ends this relationship, even if it means causing you pain. I want to be the one in control and make you suffer before you have a chance to hurt me.

Oh, you'll be the one, you'll be the one Yeah, you'll be the only one that is crying
I am certain that ending things will cause you more pain than it will cause me, and I'm prepared for that outcome.

So I'm gonna hurt you first I'm gonna hurt you first
Regardless of the consequences, I am committed to hurting you first and ending this relationship on my terms.

Oh, I'm gonna hurt, I'm gonna hurt I'm gonna hurt you first Oh, I'm gonna hurt you first
I am repeating this mantra to remind myself that I am the one in control, and that I am capable of causing you pain before you have a chance to hurt me.
