What If I'm Hurt Again
Garrett Williamson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You dig too deep, while you're askin' me what I'm doin' asleep
Well I really don't know now, what I'm doin', I got the tools in my hand
But I'm just clueless how to use them, while you got your castle of sand
I'm just the wind blowin' in the storm, and I'm scared to even try
Cuz I'll knock it down, yeah to the ground, and you always ask me why
And I'm brought to shame
Why do I even try
And the waves keep getting closer and I know just what to do
But I'm afraid to
Cuz what if I'm hurt again by you
You want it loud, well these speakers gonna blow from the sound
(And still it's not enough)
You want it bigger and brighter, I'm just not that capable all year-round
(But that's what you want in love)
You want this thing, now you're indecisive, you can't make up your mind
Do you want it this way or that way, you want answers I can't find
It's not flashy, and I like that, but you want it to be right
I'm a perfectionist with other things but not this little sight
I play your game, but it gets me every time
And I'm brought to shame
Why do I even try
And the waves keep getting closer and I know just what to do
But I'm afraid to
Cuz what if I'm hurt again by you
You never told me what I was doin' all wrong
Coulda had this fixed but now it's been prolonged
To the point where I coulda given up on you
Why you got to be like that? Why can't you just speak the truth
I play your game, but it gets me every time
And I'm brought to shame
Why do I even try
And the waves keep getting closer and I know just what to do
But I'm afraid to
Cuz what if I'm hurt again by you
In Garrett Williamson's song, "What If I'm Hurt Again", the singer expresses their fear of being hurt again in a relationship. The song portrays a one-sided relationship where the singer is trying to meet their partner's expectations but doesn't feel like they're good enough. The partner is shown as someone who digs too deep and wants everything bigger and brighter, while the singer is just trying to figure out what to do with the tools they have. The fear of being hurt again is a recurring theme in the song, as the singer feels like no matter what they do, they'll end up being hurt by their partner. The singer is also worried about standing up for themselves and potentially causing the relationship to end.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is tired of playing their partner's game and doesn't understand why things can't be simpler. They want their partner to speak the truth and be more decisive about what they want in the relationship. The last verse of the song highlights the miscommunication between the two partners as the singer realizes that they could have fixed things earlier if their partner had just told them what they were doing wrong. The song portrays a sense of frustration and helplessness in the singer as they try to navigate their relationship.

I don't know what mistakes I'm making because you won't tell me
Coulda had this fixed but now it's been prolonged
We could have resolved this earlier, but it's been dragged out
To the point where I coulda given up on you
I've become so frustrated that I've considered giving up on our relationship
Why you got to be like that? Why can't you just speak the truth
I don't understand why you're being so difficult and not communicating honestly
And the waves keep getting closer and I know just what to do
The problems keep getting worse, and I know how to fix them
But I'm afraid to
But I'm scared to take action
Cuz what if I'm hurt again by you
Because I'm afraid of being hurt by you again
