It Hurts Me
Love's Pain: A Heartfelt Reflection on Unrequited Love
Lyrics
It hurts me to see him treat you the way that he does
Expressing pain at witnessing mistreatment towards the listener by someone else.
It hurts me to see you sit and cry
Expressing distress at seeing the listener in a state of sadness and tears.
When I know I could be so true
Asserting the ability to be faithful if given the chance, contrasting with the listener's current situation.
If I had someone like you
Expressing a desire for a relationship with the listener.
It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes
Reiterating the emotional impact of witnessing the listener's tears.
The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool
Addressing the town's gossip about the listener's relationship and expressing disapproval of their choices.
For listening to his same old lies
Highlighting the deceitful nature of the person the listener is involved with.
And when I know I could be so true
Reiterating the potential for faithfulness if the listener chose a different path.
If I had someone like you
Reiterating the desire for a relationship with the listener.
It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry
Expressing pain at witnessing the listener's emotional distress caused by their current partner.
You love him so much, you're too blind to see
Observing the listener's deep love for their current partner, despite potential flaws.
He's only playing a game
Accusing the listener's partner of playing with their emotions as if it were a game.
He's never loved you, he never will
Asserting that the listener's partner never truly loved them and never will.
And darling, don't you know he'll never change
Warning the listener that their partner is unlikely to change.
I know that he never will set you free
Attributing the partner's behavior to their personality.
Because he's just that kind of guy
Reinforcing the idea that the partner is not willing to let the listener go.
But if you ever tell him you're through
Offering support if the listener decides to end the current relationship.
I'll be waiting for you
Expressing readiness to be there for the listener.
Waiting, to hold you so tight
Describing the anticipation of holding the listener tightly.
Waiting, to kiss you goodnight
Expressing the desire to share intimate moments, like kissing goodnight.
Yes, darling, if I had someone like you
Reaffirming the desire for a relationship with the listener.
