Sunday
Hurts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are times when we question the things we know?
Never thought that the cracks will begin to show
We both know love is not that easy
I wish I'd known that it would be this hard to be alone.
Please, come home!

Loveless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday.
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Is this the end of the love that had just began?
I always hope that the best it was yet to come.
Please, come back, don't you leave me
We both so young, I know you need me too.
And there'll always be times like these.

Loveless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday.
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Maybe we'll see that we were wrong
If ever we look back one day
But till you come back where you'll belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Lonely, lonely.

If you don't come back tomorrow
I'll be left here in the cold
If you don't come back tomorrow, I'll go

Loveless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday.
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Maybe we'll see that we were wrong
If ever we look back one day
But till you come back where you'll belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.
Lonely, lonely.





Lonely Sunday

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hurts' song "Sunday" capture the painful longing of a person who realizes the cracks in a once-solid relationship. The opening lines express the uncertainty that can start to develop in a relationship. The sense of questioning reflects how we can become unsure about the trust, love, and commitment that one always thought was a strong foundation of a relationship. The lyrics then reveal how love can be challenging, despite the initial excitement and joy that comes with it. The singer expresses that it was harder to be alone than anticipated, and they want their beloved to come home.


The chorus repeats the phrase "loveless nights" to emphasize the loneliness and emptiness that the singer feels without their partner. They realize that being alone is not something they can handle, and they yearn for the time when things were good. They hope that they will reconcile and that everything will go back to normal. But as the lyrics progress, it begins to seem like the singer is losing hope. They start to question if their love was right from the beginning, and if it was ever meant to last. For now, they face another lonely Sunday without their beloved.

She was allowed to come back to earth with him under one circumstance, he wasn't allowed to look back. They nearly made it, only a few steps away from freedom. Suddenly he turned around to see if she was really there. Her soul was now lost forever and he never loved again. - Orpheus and Eurydike
