You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me, but you won't let me be 
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
 
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one in such a long, long while
Still I keep running back, why must this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
 
Someone must have hurt you long ago
But why take revenge on the one who loves you so
You don't need me, but you won't set me free
Don’t you ever get tired of hurtin’ me
 
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one in such a long, long while
Still I keep running back, why must this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
