Hurt
Francis Connie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hurt to think that you lied to me
Hurt way down deep inside of me
You said your love was true and we'd never part
Now you want someone new and it breaks my heart
I'm hurt much more than you'll ever know
Hurt because I still love you so
But even though you've hurt me like no one else could do
I would never, never hurt you

Hurt to think that you lied to me
Hurt way down deep inside of me
You said your love was true and we'd never part
Now you want someone new and it breaks my heart
I'm hurt much more than you'll ever know
Hurt because I still love you so




But even though you've hurt me like no one else could do
I would never, never hurt you

How true! One can just hear the pain in her voice. I cannot think of any female singer who conveys such true emotion in her singing voice.
