You Hurt Me
G.G. Shinn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me who hurt you
Tell me who loved but didn't give enough
Tell me who hurt you
Tell me who's trust couldn't hold you up
I can see it
You try to play the perfect role but can't that scene end
When everybody got you read they skip the bleedin
And you keep hiding all the scars so they don't deepen
Well then it depends
What's the reason
You think nobody's lost we ain't got perfect seasons
You think nobody else got stuck up in they feelings
With paragraphs and long nights staring at the ceilin
That's what I deal in
Girl I get it your last man had you in heaven
Then he left you independent
All you have left is his pendant status pending
Learn the lesson
Ain't no codes we all just guessin
This ain't news no need for pressin
That's the past let's live the present
Tell me who hurt you
Tell me who loved but didn't give enough
Tell me who hurt you
Tell me who's trust couldn't hold you up
You got memories on the floor
Times y'all went down to the shore
Now you overthinkin' more
Like what was all that ever for
Dates on dates like it's a tour
Couple goals but what's the score
Now you looking at the door
Hope is high but you can't sore
Hiding scars so that your record come up clean
Like to put on all that make up just to contour all the seams
Posting pictures for attention well that's one hell of a scheme
Figure if they see a smile they won't ask what's underneath
But I've been waiting way too long to let you pass me by
Won't you just forget what's wrong and see what could be right
Tell me who hurt you
Tell me who loved but didn't give enough




Tell me who hurt you
Tell me who's trust couldn't hold you up
