Hurts Me Lyrics

I'm standing at the fork in the road
And I don't really know which way to go
It's like 17 years ago all over again
And I, I'm a little girl lost alone
And yes, I want to know what lies ahead
And yet my feet are planted
And I don't want to take a step

'Cause I won't make it any further with you on my back
Carry a burden, I can't do it this time
Goodbye
But then again
Do I listen to my heart or your crying for help
I keep second guessing myself
Why does it have to be so hard to let you go

It's almost sundown, I gotta put my foot down
And I know if I do
It's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you
I know how much you need me
Breaks my heart, believe me
And I know what I gotta do
But it's gonna hurt me
More than it hurts you (x3)
But it's gonna hurt me
More than it hurts you (x3)

Now ordinarily I wouldn't give up, I'm no quitter
But under this circumstance
I think it's better that I wash my hands off you
I love you but I'm thinking that I can't live with you
Can't live without you
It's something about you that makes me wanna stick around
Or stay and settle down, even if it kills me without you here

'Cause I won't make it any further with you on my back
Carry a burden, I can't do it this time
Goodbye
But then again
Do I listen to my heart or your crying for help
I keep second guessing myself
Why does it have to be so hard to let you go

It's almost sundown, I gotta put my foot down
And I know if I do
It's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you
I know how much you need me
Breaks my heart, believe me
And I know what I gotta do
But it's gonna hurt me
More than it hurts you (x3)
But it's gonna hurt me
More than it hurts you (x3)

I'm walking away like...
(whistling)
Goodbye
You got me walking away like...
(whistling)
Goodbye

Cover art for Hurts Me lyrics by Keri Hilson

i guess this song needs no interpretation. It is pretty straightfoward. Its about leaving a relationship and how much it hurts even though you know its the right choice.
