Hurt So Bad
John Legend · Other Songs - John Legend
I think I messed up this time
I let you go and I
Can't get no sleep
Ohh...
With thoughts going through my head
When I should've understand
Trying to be free
Ohh...
Oh, I thought I'd get over you
I'm finding it's hard to do
And I'm so confused
I don't know...
Why does it hurt so bad
How come I just can't let you go
I wanna know, yeah
Cause I shouldn't feel this sad
But I can't help it I miss you so
Oh no!
Yeah...
But I had someone around
And I couldn't settle down
Was chasing my dream
Mmm...
And I sit here by myself
And now you're with someone else
When it should be me
Yeah...
I thought it'd get easier
I said I didn't need ya
And I can't believe
I was wrong
Why does it hurt so bad
How come I just can't let you go
I wanna know, yeah
Cause I shouldn't feel this sad
But I can't help it I miss you so
Oh no!
Said yeah...
Why does it hurt so bad
How come I just can't let you go
I wanna know
Now baby
Cause I shouldn't feel this sad
But I can't help it I miss you so

I wish you would come around
I wish we could work it out
I wish you were here but you're gone
Why does it hurt so bad
How come I just can't let you go
I wanna know, now baby
Cause I shouldn't feel this sad
But I can't help it I miss you so
