Never Gonna Hurt
Breaking Free: Unveiling Emotions in Rosanne Cash's 'Never Gonna Hurt'
Lyrics
You give me no reason to cry but I do
You provide no justification for me to cry, yet I find myself doing so.
You tell me you don't tell me lies, is that true?
You claim not to tell lies. Is that assertion accurate?
I can't stand your strange emotion
I cannot tolerate your peculiar and confusing emotions.
I don't like your meek devotion
I dislike your submissive dedication.
Just send my old heart in motion
Initiate my aging heart into action.
So you can't hurt me anymore
So that you can no longer inflict pain upon me.
It ain't ever gonna hurt anymore
There will be no more emotional pain in the future.
You tell me I got out of line and I did
You accuse me of crossing a line, and I acknowledge my mistake.
You think I'll never survive but I'll live
You believe I won't survive, but I will endure.
Let's break up that bound together
Let's dissolve the emotional connection we share.
I'll use all my drastic measures
I will take extreme actions to end the relationship.
And leave while I still feel clever
I'll leave while I still feel mentally sharp and capable.
So you can't hurt me anymore
So that you can no longer cause me harm.
It ain't ever gonna hurt anymore
No more emotional pain will be felt in the future.
Well I think you've lost your youth
I believe you have lost your youthful spirit.
And you think I play too loose
You think I am too carefree or reckless.
But I'll tell you what the truth is
But I will tell you the unvarnished truth.
You can't hurt me anymore
You cannot cause me pain anymore.
So let go of old emotions
Release the grip of past emotions.
Get someone's new devotion
Find someone with a new and sincere commitment.
You think I'm only jokin'
You may think I'm joking, but I'm serious.
But you can't hurt me anymore
You can no longer cause me harm.
It ain't never gonna hurt anymore
No more emotional pain will be experienced.
