It Don't Hurt Me Half as Bad
Love's Redemption: Gene Watson's Melodic Journey of Healing
Lyrics
It hurts me just to know I had to leave her
Expressing emotional pain at the necessity of leaving someone.
But when your eyes met mine I knew I would
Upon meeting the person with whom the singer is currently involved, there is a realization that this new connection was inevitable.
Sometimes at night my conscience makes me suffer
Feeling guilty or regretful during moments of introspection, especially at night.
But it don't hurt me half as bad
The pain of leaving the previous person is overshadowed by the pleasure of being with the current partner.
As holding you feels good
Emphasizing that the joy of holding the current partner outweighs the pain of leaving the previous one.
Cause she's the one that made me need someone
Acknowledging the role of the previous person in creating the need for companionship.
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
Expressing gratitude to the current partner for fulfilling desires and needs.
So don't worry if it bothers me 'cause we both know it should
Addressing any concerns about the situation, acknowledging that both individuals understand the complexity of the emotions involved.
And it don't hurt me half as bad
Reiterating that the current joy surpasses the pain of the past.
As holding you feels good
Reaffirming the pleasure derived from being with the current partner.
Yes, she's the one that made me need someone
Repeating the acknowledgment of the role of the previous person in creating the need for companionship.
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
Reiterating gratitude to the current partner for fulfilling desires and needs.
She could have done the things you do
Comparing the current partner's actions favorably to those of the previous person, who could have done similar things but chose not to.
But somehow never would
Highlighting a contrast between the actions of the current partner and those of the previous one.
So it don't hurt me half as bad
Emphasizing that the pleasure of holding the current partner outweighs any remaining pain.
As holding you feels good
Reaffirming the idea that the joy of holding the current partner is more significant than any residual pain.
No it don't hurt me half as bad
Repeating that the lingering pain is minimal compared to the joy of being with the current partner.
As holding you feels good
Concluding that the pleasure derived from holding the current partner far outweighs any remaining pain from the past.
