It Hurts to Be in Love
Aching Hearts: Navigating Unrequited Love with Annie Laurie
Lyrics
It hurts to be in love, when the only one you love
Feeling emotional pain because the person you love does not reciprocate your feelings.
turns out to be someone who's not in love with you.
Realizing that the person you love is not in love with you, intensifying the emotional hurt.
It hurts to love her so
Experiencing pain in loving someone deeply, despite knowing that the love may not be returned.
when deep down inside you know,
Being aware that the person you love will never reciprocate, causing inner turmoil.
she will never love you, no matter what you do.
Accepting the futility of efforts to make the person love you, acknowledging the inevitable outcome.
And so you cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Expressing the emotional release through tears, reflecting the pain of unrequited love.
Oh you die a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Symbolizing the emotional toll of unrequited love, feeling as if a part of oneself is dying.
Day and night, night and day
Emphasizing that the pain is constant, occurring day and night, highlighting the persistent agony.
It hurts to be in love this way.
Reiterating the overall anguish and difficulty of being in love when it is not reciprocated.
How long can I exist?
Questioning the sustainability of living with the emotional pain caused by unrequited love.
Wanting lips I've never kissed
Expressing a desire for intimate experiences, such as kisses, that have not been shared.
She gives all her kisses to somebody else.
Noting the pain of knowing that the person you love is sharing affection with someone else.
She thinks I'm just a friend
Acknowledging the perception of being only a friend to the person you love, deepening the emotional hurt.
now it hurts, I must pretend
Experiencing emotional pain while pretending that the friendship is enough to keep the person close.
The only way to keep her, is to keep it to myself.
Recognizing that keeping the love a secret is the only way to maintain any connection with the person.
And so I cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Expressing continued emotional distress through tears, emphasizing the ongoing pain.
Oh I die a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Reiterating the sense of inner death and emotional suffering due to unrequited love.
Day and night, night and day
Highlighting the constant nature of the emotional pain, occurring both day and night.
It hurts to be in love this way.
Summarizing the overall anguish and difficulty of being in unreciprocated love.
Yes I cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Continuing to express emotional pain through tears, reinforcing the theme of ongoing suffering.
Oh I die a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Reiterating the sense of inner death and emotional suffering due to unrequited love.
Day and night, night and day
Emphasizing the persistent and unrelenting nature of the emotional pain.
It hurts to be in love this way.
Summarizing the overall anguish and difficulty of being in unreciprocated love.
It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day
Repeating the central theme of the song, emphasizing the continual hurt of unreciprocated love.
it hurts to be in love. night and day, day and night
Reiterating the constant pain of being in love, irrespective of the time of day or night.
it hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day......
