Get Hurt
Embracing the Pain: A Journey of Letting Go in Dennis Kalla's 'Get Hurt'
Lyrics
Not the first time that we met
Reflecting on past encounters; not the initial meeting.
but the first time I could see you
First time visually connecting with the person.
Not the first time that we touched
Past physical contact, but now with deeper emotional connection.
but the first time I could feel you
Emotionally sensing the connection for the first time.
Not the first time that I moved in you
Past physical intimacy, but now with a profound emotional impact.
But the first time that it moved me too
Highlighting a significant emotional response to the physical connection.
I don't wanna be this afraid of losing something
Fear of losing something valuable.
I don't wanna feel this way, like you're the one thing
Expressing vulnerability and attachment to the person.
That's why I have to leave you, to make sure
Deciding to end the relationship to protect oneself.
This is the last time we will meet
Final meeting with the person.
But not the last time I will see you
Though physically parting, the person will remain in memory.
You will always be the pain
Acknowledging the enduring emotional pain caused by the person.
and I will always feel you
Emphasizing the lasting impact of the emotional connection.
With time you will find someone new
Recognizing the possibility of finding new love with time.
but I won't find another you
Despite potential new relationships, the person remains unique.
It's the last time I'll have something more than life to lose
The last time risking something more significant than life itself.
I don't wanna be this afraid of losing something
Reiteration of fear of loss.
I don't wanna feel this way, like you're the one thing
Reaffirming the emotional dependence on the person.
That's why I have to leave you, to make sure
Choosing to leave for self-preservation.
That you won't leave me, that i won't get hurt
Expressing the motive to prevent personal hurt.
I know you don't understand
Acknowledging the person's lack of understanding.
But I hope one day you can
Hope for eventual comprehension.
I'd rather hate myself for leaving you than hate myself for losing you
Preferable self-blame for leaving than for potential future pain.
I don't wanna be this afraid of losing something
Repetition of the fear of loss.
I don't wanna feel this way, like you're the one thing
Reiterating emotional dependency on the person.
That's why I have to leave you, to make sure
Repeating the decision to leave for self-protection.
that you won't leave me, that I won't get hurt
Ensuring avoidance of personal and emotional hurt.
Yeah if I leave you I won't get hurt
Reassurance that leaving is a preventive measure.
I won't get hurt
Affirming the commitment to avoiding personal hurt.
