Devin Dawson - Secondhand Hurt

It's been three months, since I lit one up
But I needed something on my lips to get me through
I didn't see this coming, when I let you go
I didn't think it'd be this hard
Getting over you

If I was the one who called it quits
Why in the hell do I feel like this?
If saying goodbye was for the best
Then tell me why am I such a goddamn mess?
If I was the one who broke your heart
Why am I so torn apart?
If I was the one who lit our love and let it burn
Why am I breathing in this secondhand hurt?

If you hated me
Maybe then it wouldn't cut so deep
Maybe then I'd get some sleep
Knowing you weren't dying, crying
Nobody told me how hard it is to be the breaker
I've always only been the broken love
If they're lovin' somebody
They both should feel the same

If I was the one who called it quits
Why in the hell do I feel like this?
If saying goodbye was for the best
Then tell me why am I such a goddamn mess?
If I was the one who broke your heart
Why am I so torn apart?
If I was the one who lit our love and let it burn
Why am I breathing in this secondhand hurt?

Oh, this secondhand hurt

Any other fool
He probably would've stayed with you
Would've waited for you to leave
Guess the joke's on me

'Cause I'm just left her wondering
If I was the one who called it quits
Why in the hell do I feel like this?
If saying goodbye was for the best
Then tell me why am I such a god damn mess
If I was the one who broke your heart
Why am I so torn apart?
If I was the one who lit our love and let it burn
Why am I breathing in this secondhand hurt?

Oh, this secondhand hurt
