I Could Hurt You Now Lyrics - Whatever - Aimee Mann

This is for the one who was false 

Who taught me about building walls 

One who could always turn it around 

To leave me here on shaky ground 

This is for the one who made good 

In someone else's neighborhood 

One who was never anything but 

The shifty eye of sheer bad luck 

Once I thought that I would never forget 

And I have not quite done that yet 

But I could hurt you now 

I could hurt you now 

This is for the time that I lost 

The death of who I thought I was 

The things in which I cannot believe 

For fear I'll wear them on my sleeve 

Things I know that will never be returned 

But I crossed that bridge before it burned 

So I could hurt you now 

I could hurt you now 

(listen, sonny boy 

You just don't get it, do you) 

I could hurt you now 

(tell you what I'll do 

I'll get that message to you) 

Maybe it leaves an invisible scar 

But I have not come quite that far 

But I could hurt you now 

(listen, sonny boy 

You just don't get it, do you) 

I could hurt you now 

(tell you what I'll do 

I'll get that message to you)
