Don't hurt me.
The Ghost and Swift Moths Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Towards the long wooden pier that hangs over the beach
She took off her dress
And she walked towards the sea
And thought maybe it could sweep away me
His engine turned off with the keys
As he ran towards her, he fell to his knees
He said what did I forget
She looked away and she wept
He said why don't you show me where it hurts
Why don't you show me where it hurts
He said why don't you show me where it hurts
Where it hurts the most
She said it follows me wherever I go
I wake up each morning and the darkness unfolds
Yeah I just cant fake it
Everything's like a choir
And I cant live like this anymore
He said why don't you show me where it hurts
He said why don't you show me where it hurts
He said why don't you show me where it hurts
Where it hurts the most
I guess it'd be easier just to keep it all buried beneath
He said why don't you show me where it hurts
Why don't you show me where it hurts
He said why don't you show me where it hurts
Where it hurts the most
The Ghost and Swift Moths's song "Don't Hurt Me" is an emotionally charged portrayal of a conversation between two people caught up in the tumultuous nature of their relationship. The song centers on the idea of emotional vulnerability, the fear of showing one's true feelings and the resulting consequences of burying them for too long. The opening lines describe a woman who walks towards the sea, hoping it might "sweep away" her troubles. Meanwhile, a man nearby falls to his knees and tearfully asks what he has done wrong.
The subsequent verses paint a vivid picture of the woman's emotional struggle, which follows her wherever she goes. Despite her partner's requests for her to open up and share her pain, she finds it hard to do so, feeling like she's drowning in her emotions. The repeated refrain "why don't you show me where it hurts, where it hurts the most" underscores the importance of emotional openness and communication in any relationship.
The song's lyrics are incredibly poetic and moving, conveying the depths of human emotions in a powerful and poignant way. They touch upon themes of love, loss, and heartache that are universally relatable, making the song a timeless piece of writing.

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Brown guilty eyes and little white lies
Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew
That you'd talk to her, maybe did even worse
I kept quiet so I could keep you
And ain't it funny
How you ran to her
The second that we called it quits?
And ain't it funny
How you said you were friends?
Now it sure as hell don't look like it
You betrayed me
And I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt, yeah
You'd talk to her
When we were together
Loved you at your worst
But that didn't matter
It took you two weeks
To go off and date her
Guess you didn't cheat
But you're still a traitor
Now you bring her around
Just to shut me down
Show her off like she's a new trophy
And I know if you were true
There's no damn way that you
Could fall in love with somebody that quickly
Ain't it funny
All the twisted games
All the questions you used to avoid?
Ain't it funny?
Remember I brought her up
And you told me I was paranoid
You betrayed me
And I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt, yeah
You'd talk to her
When we were together
Loved you at your worst
But that didn't matter
It took you two weeks
To go off and date her
Guess you didn't cheat
But you're still a traitor
God, I wish that you had thought this through
Before I went and fell in love with you
(Ah-ah-ah)
When she's sleeping in the bed we made
Don't you dare forget about the way
You betrayed me
'Cause I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt, yeah
You'd talk to her
When we were together
You gave me your word
But that didn't matter
It took you two weeks
To go off and date her
Guess you didn't cheat
But you're still
You're still a traitor (ah-ah-ah)
Yeah, you're still a traitor
Ooh-ooh-ooh
God, I wish that you had thought this through
Before I went and fell in love with you

Olhos castanhos culpados e mentirinhas do bem
Sim, eu me fiz de boba, mas sempre soube
Que você falava com ela, talvez tenha feito ainda pior
Eu fiquei quieta para poder manter você
E não é engraçado
Como você correu para ela
No segundo em que terminamos?
E não é engraçado
Como você disse que eram amigos?
Agora com certeza não parece isso
Você me traiu
E eu sei que você nunca vai se arrepender
Pelo jeito que me machucou, sim
Você conversava com ela quando estávamos juntos
Amei você no seu pior momento, mas isso não importou
Demorou duas semanas para você começar a namorar ela
Talvez você não tenha me traído, mas ainda é um traidor
Agora você a traz aqui
Só para me deixar mal
A exibe como se ela fosse um novo troféu
E eu sei que se você fosse verdadeiro
De jeito nenhum que você
Poderia se apaixonar por alguém tão rapidamente
Não é engraçado?
Todos os jogos distorcidos
Todas as perguntas que você costumava evitar?
Não é engraçado?
Lembra que eu a mencionei
E você me disse que eu era paranoica?
Você me traiu
E eu sei que você nunca vai se arrepender
Pelo jeito que me machucou, sim
Você conversava com ela quando estávamos juntos
Amei você no seu pior momento, mas isso não importou
Demorou duas semanas para você começar a namorar ela
Talvez você não tenha me traído, mas ainda é um traidor
Deus, gostaria que você tivesse pensado melhor
Antes de eu cair nessa e me apaixonar por você
Quando ela estiver dormindo na cama que arrumamos
Não se atreva a esquecer do jeito que
Você me traiu
Porque eu sei que você nunca vai se arrepender
Pelo jeito que me machucou, sim
Você conversava com ela quando estávamos juntos
Você me deu sua palavra, mas isso não importou
Demorou duas semanas para você começar a namorar ela
Talvez você não tenha me traído, mas ainda é
Você ainda é um traidor
Sim, você ainda é um traidor
Deus, gostaria que você tivesse pensado melhor
Antes de eu cair nessa e me apaixonar por você

Brown guilty eyes and little white lies
Sí, me hice el tonto, pero siempre supe
