Don't Hurt
Mike Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you cut your hair 'cause you
Look a little different than I left ya?
Why you always tryna hide all that
Pain behind your eyes? I don't remember
I used to think that I would always let you get to me
That I would hear your voice and hit my knees
And now I feel it all again, again
But it don't hurt like it used to
No, it don't burn like a coal still hot
And when I see you at the bar with a honey on your arm
I feel nothing at all
'Cause it don't hurt
No, it don't hurt like it used to
And when I see you at the bar with a honey on your arm
I feel nothing at all
'Cause it don't hurt
'Cause it don't hurt
No, it don't hurt like it used to
And when I see you at the bar with a honey on your arm
I feel nothing at all

Did you cut your hair 'cause you
Look a little different than I left ya?
Why you always tryna hide all that
Pain behind your eyes? I don't remember
I used to think that I would always let you get to me
That I would hear your voice and hit my knees
And now I feel it all again, again

But it don't hurt like it used to
No, it don't burn like a coal still hot
And when I see you at the bar with a honey on your arm
I feel nothing at all
'Cause it don't hurt
No, it don't hurt like it used to




And when I see you at the bar with a honey on your arm
I feel nothing at all

Overall Meaning

In "Don't Hurt" by Mike Williams, the singer is speaking to a former lover who has clearly changed since they were together last. He notices that she has cut her hair and is trying to hide pain behind her eyes. At one point in their relationship, he would have been deeply affected by seeing her with someone new, but now he feels nothing. He acknowledges that he used to let her get to him and that hearing her voice would make him feel emotional, but he has moved on and is no longer hurt the way he used to be. The repetition of the phrase "it don't hurt like it used to" reinforces the idea that time has passed and the singer has healed from the pain his former lover caused.


It is clear that the singer has gone through a process of healing and growth, as evidenced by his ability to see his former lover with someone else and feel no pain. He has become stronger and more resilient, no longer allowing himself to be brought down by something that once had a significant impact on him. It is also possible that the singer is voicing some frustration or confusion over his ex's behavior - he asks why she is trying to "hide all that pain" and seems to be struggling to understand why she is acting the way she is.
