Lyrics

You always hurt the one you love

You consistently cause pain to the person you love

The one you shouldn't hurt at all

Expressing the contradiction that the one you love is the one you shouldn't hurt

You always take the sweetest rose

You always choose the most beautiful and cherished things to destroy

And crush it till the petals fall

Metaphorically describing the act of damaging something precious until it withers away


You always break the kindest heart

You consistently cause heartbreak to the most gentle and kind-hearted individuals

With a hasty word you can't recall, so

Explaining that hurtful words, spoken impulsively, contribute to breaking hearts

If I broke your heart last night

Addressing a specific instance where the singer might have hurt the beloved person the night before

It's because I love you most of all

Justifying the previous heartbreak as a consequence of intense love


You always hurt the one you love

Repeating the theme of causing pain to the one you love

The one you shouldn't hurt at all

Reiterating the paradoxical nature of hurting the person who should be treated with utmost care

You always take the sweetest rose

Emphasizing the pattern of destroying beautiful and delicate things

And crush it till the petals fall

Continuing the metaphor of crushing a rose as a symbol of causing harm


You always break the kindest heart

Stating the tendency to break the hearts of the most compassionate individuals

With a hasty word you can't recall

Highlighting the impact of thoughtless words in breaking someone's heart

So if I broke your heart last night

Referencing another occasion where the singer might have caused heartbreak

It's because I love you most of a-all

Reaffirming that the actions were driven by love, even if they caused pain


You always hurt the one you love

Repeating the central theme of inflicting pain on the loved one

The one you shouldn't hurt at all

Reiterating the idea that hurting the one you love is fundamentally wrong

You always take the sweetest rose

Restating the tendency to destroy what is sweet and precious

Crush it, till the petals fall

Using the metaphor of crushing a rose again to illustrate causing harm


You always break the kindest heart

Highlighting the consistent pattern of breaking the hearts of kind individuals

With a hasty word you can't recall, so

Emphasizing the role of impulsive words in breaking hearts

If I broke your heart last night

Referring to a specific instance where the singer might have broken the beloved person's heart

It's because I love you most of all

Reiterating that the motivation behind the actions is deep love
