Why Did I Get Hurt

I stepped into the fire thought it wouldn't burn

Played with the flames but I'll never learn

Ashes on my hands and a heart that's torn

A lesson in pain that feels so worn

Why did I get hurt what was the deal

Was it a game or something too real

I gave my all but was it worth the fight

Now I'm left alone in the endless night

I walked on glass thinking it was stone

Tried to build a castle but was left alone

Every promise made turned to fleeting air

What did I expect when love wasn't there

Bruised but breathing scars still ache

Is this the price for the risks we take

A question hangs like a heavy chain

What's the use of joy if it ends in pain

Why did I get hurt what was the deal

Was it a game or something too real

I gave my all but was it worth the fight

Now I'm left alone in the endless night

Now I see the cracks that I once ignored

Each mistake a key to unlock the door

The hurt still lingers but I start to see

It wasn't all lost if it set me free

Hmn-hmn, oh-ooh oh-ooh

Why did I get hurt what was the deal

Was it a game or something too real

I gave my all but was it worth the fight

Now I'm left alone in the endless night
