How You Get Hurt
Navigating Love's Risks: How You Get Hurt
Lyrics
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Expressing curiosity if the other person shares the same thoughts.
Do you wish that I would stay?
Asking if the person desires her to stay.
If I missed you, I wouldn't tell you
Indicating a reluctance to reveal missing the person.
Best not to give ourselves away
Suggesting caution to avoid exposing true feelings.
That's how you get hurt,
Highlighting the vulnerability of letting down one's guard.
You let your guard down
Explaining the consequence of lowering defenses.
You make a move,
Referring to taking an action or initiative in a relationship.
Then it doesn't work out
Describing the disappointment when efforts do not succeed.
That's how you get hurt
Reiterating the idea that vulnerability can lead to pain.
Do you remember that night in Nashville?
Recalling a specific night in Nashville.
Took you dancing with my friends
Mentioning a shared experience of dancing with friends.
Laura taught you how to two-step
Noting someone named Laura teaching a dance move.
Then you took me for a spin
Describing a playful and memorable moment.
That's how you get hurt
Reiterating the risk of letting down one's guard emotionally.
You let your guard down
Reinforcing the idea that taking chances can lead to hurt.
You take a chance,
Emphasizing the risk associated with taking a leap of faith.
Then it doesn't work out
Highlighting the disappointment when risks do not pay off.
That's how you get hurt
Repeating the warning about the potential for emotional pain.
Thought of calling, thought of a letter
Expressing thoughts about reaching out through a call or letter.
Thought of you almost every day
Acknowledging persistent thoughts about the person.
But maybe this distance is for the better
Suggesting that physical distance might be beneficial for both.
Until we both learn how to stay
Expressing a need for personal growth and understanding before reconnecting.
I wanna get hurt
Expressing a willingness to experience the vulnerability of love.
Let my guard down
Describing the act of letting down emotional defenses.
Fall in love
Expressing a desire to fall in love despite the risks.
If it doesn't work out,
Acknowledging the possibility of love not working out.
That's how you get hurt
Reiterating that the risk of getting hurt is inherent in seeking love.
