Lyrics
What would I do if I do you?
Contemplating the consequences of taking action in the relationship
What would you do if I say?
Asking about the partner's reaction to a statement or decision
I'm leaving this town for something better
Expressing a desire to leave the current town for a better opportunity
I'm leaving the city today
Announcing the decision to leave the city on the same day
What would you say if I did it?
Inquiring about the partner's response to a hypothetical action
Ah, all because of you
Attributing the decision to leave to the influence of the partner
No, no, no, no
Repeating a refusal or disagreement with the situation
Can't stay like this forever
Acknowledging the impermanence of the current state and expressing a need for change
I know how to self better
Asserting the ability to improve oneself
I want something new
Expressing a desire for something new in life
Oh, love, love hurts, ooh
Acknowledging the pain and challenges associated with love
Love hurts
Repeating the idea that love hurts
When it comes to you
Highlighting the pain when love involves the person being addressed
Will you come after me and tell me that you miss me?
Pondering if the partner would pursue and express missing the speaker
Would you go down on your knees and beg?
Asking about the possibility of the partner pleading on their knees
Would you kiss me? Would it feel like a movie?
Questioning whether a kiss would be as dramatic as in a movie
Oh, ooh, it's only happening in my real
Uncertain if the described scenarios are only happening in the speaker's reality
Love hurts, oh
Reiterating the idea that love is painful
Love hurts
Repeating the concept that love is hurtful
When it comes to you
Emphasizing the pain associated with love when it involves the person being addressed
Yeah, I've been holding my breath for too long
Describing a prolonged period of holding one's breath and the need to breathe again
Now I'm running out of air
Feeling breathless and running out of air, possibly due to emotional stress
I've been crying, hoping, waiting
Expressing emotional struggles of crying, hoping, and waiting
Do you even care?
Questioning the partner's level of concern or care
Love hurts, love hurts
Repeating the idea that love is painful
Love hurts
Reiterating the notion that love hurts
Love, love hurts, ooh
Continuing to emphasize the pain associated with love
Love hurts
Repeating the conclusion that love hurts
