Hurt To Look {Ft. Rae Sremmurd}
Swae Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It shouldn't hurt to look your way (your way, ah-ah, ah)
I shouldn't have to catch a case (ah-ah, ah yeah)
'Cause I'm the one that can't stand to feel any more pain (ah-ah, ooh)
I can feel the weight of what you say (ooh, ooh)
I had explanations for days (ooh, ooh)
Don't think you're the only one that's sane
All I do is think when I'm away (away)
Colors burst and all I see are shapes (hey!)
Sun goes away and that's when I call your name (your name)
She's here for good, and I'm here to stay
It shouldn't hurt to look your way (hey, ah-ah, ah)
It shouldn't hurt to look your way (your way, ah-ah, ah)
I shouldn't have to catch a case (ah-ah, ah yeah)
'Cause I'm the one that can't stand to feel any more pain (ah-ah, ooh)
She said the E was for missin' my embrace (yeah, oh-oh)
So yeah, I feel so out of place (woo, oh yeah)
I was meant to love and protect you
You know what's on my mind, but not what's in my heart
Give me someone to connect to (to)
Because these drinks are hitting me a little hard
It shouldn't hurt to look your way (hey, ah-ah, ah)
It shouldn't hurt to look your way (your way, ah-ah, ah)
I shouldn't have to catch a case (ah-ah, ah yeah)
'Cause I'm the one that can't stand to feel any more pain (ah-ah, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah-ah, ooh, yeah
It shouldn't hurt to look your way
It shouldn't hurt to look your way
The lyrics of Swae Lee's song "Hurt to Look" explore the pain and confusion of a failing relationship. The first verse sets the tone by stating that it shouldn't hurt to look at the person, but unfortunately, it does. The singer is aware of the situation, noting that he "shouldn't have to catch a case" because he's the one who can't stand to feel any more pain. This line suggests that the relationship has been tumultuous and has caused problems in the singer's life.
In the chorus, Swae Lee reiterates that it shouldn't hurt to look at the person, but it still does. The next verse delves a little deeper into the singer's internal struggles. He feels the weight of what the other person says, and he has explanations for days, but it seems like they're not on the same page. This line suggests that there is poor communication between the couple, and they're not understanding each other's perspectives. The singer thinks about the other person all the time, with colors bursting and all he sees are shapes when he's away. When the sun goes away, he calls out the person's name, indicating that he's deeply attached to the other person, and they mean a lot to him.
The bridge reveals that the singer is having a hard time moving on. The other person said that they missed the singer's embrace, making him feel out of place. He was meant to love and protect the other person, but he needs someone to connect with because the drinks are hitting him hard. It seems like the singer is struggling with alcohol abuse, which could be related to the pain he's feeling from the relationship.
