I never thought you were perfect,
I never expected you'd be
But this time you've pushed the limit

Can't you see what you're doing to me
With a glass of forgiveness and a toast to forever,
Will you drink this one just like you drank all the others?


CHORUS:
Cause baby it hurts this time.

Baby it hurts this time.
It feels like you've wrapped my heart in thorns,
twisted them and beaten them down.

Baby it hurts this time
Baby it hurts
I want to forgive you, but baby it hurts


When God said love is patient,
do you think that this is what he meant

He said love keeps no record of wrongs
Well I'll try, try to forget
Cause we've built bridges to get over pain

And I promised my love would remain

BRIDGE:

Tell me I can believe you,
when you say you won't do it again
Cause I've loved you way too long

To start over again
