Hurt
Mikey Spice 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

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

Line by Line Meaning

Hurt to think that you lied to me
It pains me deeply to imagine that you weren't honest with me

Hurt way down deep inside of me
The hurt has penetrated me deep within, and I cannot ignore it

You said your love was true and we'd never part
You promised me forever, and that your love was genuine

Now you want someone new and it breaks my heart
Finding out that you have replaced me with someone else crushes my soul

I'm hurt much more than you'll ever know
The depth of my pain is beyond what you can comprehend

Hurt because I still love you so
Despite the hurt, I still love you deeply and strongly

But even though you've hurt me like no one else could do
No one has ever hurt me the way you have, and yet my love for you persists

I would never, never hurt you
Even though you hurt me, I could never intentionally hurt you in return
