I Could Hurt You Now

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)
