Verse:
Once I heard a saying,
Now I know it's true,
And deep in my heart I'm hoping,
That you'll believe it too.
 
Chorus:
You always hurt the one you love,
The one you shouldn't hurt at all.
You always take the sweetest rose,
And crush it till the petals fall.
You always break the kindest heart,
With a hasty word you can't recall.
So if I broke your heart last night,
It's because I love you most of all.
