Hurts You Too
Love's Silent Struggle: Unveiling the Pain in Malachi Mills' 'Hurts You Too'
Lyrics
It started last week
Reflecting on the beginning of a recent experience
When I watched you leave
Observing the departure of someone
I thought it was you
Mistakenly attributing the departure to the other person
But I found it was me
Realizing that the departure is a result of one's own actions
I never did want you thinking that I was leaving you
Expressing a desire for the other person not to perceive abandonment
But I'm thinking I'm thinking You're thinking I'm done with you
Internal confusion about the perceived thoughts of the other person
I want you so bad but I'm tryna get past my own issues
Expressing a strong desire but struggling with personal issues
But I'm hurting I'm hurting cause baby it hurts you too
Feeling emotional pain because one's actions hurt the other person
Im so afraid
Expressing fear related to communication difficulties
Of the lack of words I might say
Fear of being unable to articulate thoughts or feelings
When all I gotta do is tell you what's on my
Recognizing the simplicity of solving problems through communication
on my mind
Emphasizing the need to express what's on the mind
but I keep it all inside
Struggling with keeping emotions and thoughts internalized
I never did want you thinking that I was leaving you
Reiterating the desire not to be perceived as leaving
But I'm thinking I'm thinking You're thinking I'm done with you
Internal conflict about the other person's perceptions
I want you so bad but I'm tryna get past my own issues
Expressing a strong desire while dealing with personal issues
But I'm hurting I'm hurting cause baby it hurts you too
Feeling pain due to the awareness of causing hurt to the other person
I'm here without you baby
Being physically present but mentally detached
Wrapped up in my delusion
Wrapped up in a false or distorted perception of reality
How could I expect you to read my mind
Recognizing the unrealistic expectation for the other person to understand thoughts without communication
Tell me tell me
Requesting insight into the other person's emotions
Do you see love or confusion
Questioning whether the other person perceives love or confusion
When you look me in the eyes
Seeking emotional connection through eye contact
I never did want you thinking that I was leaving you
Repeating the desire not to be seen as leaving
But I'm thinking I'm thinking You're thinking I'm done with you
Continued internal struggle with the other person's perceptions
I want you so bad but I'm tryna get past my own issues
Expressing a strong desire while actively working on personal issues
But I'm hurting I'm hurting cause baby it hurts you too
Acknowledging the emotional pain caused to the other person
I never did want you thinking that I was leaving you
Reiterating the desire not to be perceived as leaving
But I'm thinking I'm thinking You're thinking I'm done with you
Continued internal conflict about the other person's perceptions
I want you so bad but I'm tryna get past my own issues
Expressing a strong desire while actively working on personal issues
But I'm hurting I'm hurting cause baby it hurts you too
Acknowledging the emotional pain caused to the other person
