Striking blindly out at me,
with angry words that you can see do us no good,
we're not working out, I know,
but you can't say what would make me go, even if I could
just turn and walk away.
It just depends on what you do,
come on, baby, it's all up to you ...
You can't hurt me, 'cause angry words are nothing new,
you can't add a single thing to what I'm going through,
you try to tell me what you feel,
don't fool yourself, I feel it too,
you can't hurt me, 'cause angry words ain't nothing new between me and you.
Every time the same routine,
treading carefully in between what's never said,
old friends just stopped coming 'round,
the safest way with us they found was to call instead
when one of us is home.
They don't want us to drift apart,
but they should hear the way we start ...
You can't hurt me, 'cause angry words are nothing new,
you can't add a single thing to what I'm going through,
you try to tell me what you feel,
don't fool yourself, I feel it too,
you can't hurt me, 'cause angry words ain't nothing new between me and you.
Don't try to talk anymore, 'cause you see,
you're only listening to you,
and I'm only listenin' to me, can't you see ...
You can't hurt me, 'cause angry words ain't nothing new,
you can't add a single thing to what I'm going through,
you try to tell me what you feel,
don't fool yourself, I feel it too,
you can't hurt me, 'cause angry words ain't nothing new between me and you.
