Hurt So Bad
The Technicolors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still you're long gone do you remember me now
When i waited in your room i was nothin new
I had to show you around but i still can't pretend
I'm not lost in space {hard to erase} my mind
So sit tight sit tight now

Stop
I do regress

I shoulda left
I shoulda left
I shoulda left

Did ya know?
Its gonna

Hurt so bad hurt so bad
I coulda told you that
Told you that
It's gonna hurt so bad
So dont do that, dont do that

Here we go again
Another spark another light followed me
Outright until we're {alone again as friends}
Another catch in the night got me feelin all pretend

I bet it feels so good
But i can't help the feelin that ive hit the ceiling
Bet it feels so sweet
Oh
I shoulda left
I shoulda left you
Shoulda left

Did ya know

It's gonna

Hurt so bad
Hurt so bad
I coulda told you that
Told you that
It's gonna hurt so bad
So dont do that, dont do that

Did ya know?
Did ya know?
Did ya know?
Did ya got me on my knees
Let it bleed(?)
Let it bleed (?)
Don't you (?) me
I believe
I believe
That you did this selflessly
Let it bleed
Let it bleed
Oh don't you do that

Oh

It's gonna

Hurt so bad
Hurt so bad
I coulda told you that
Told you that




It's gonna hurt so bad
So don't do that, don't do that

Overall Meaning

The Technicolors’ song Hurt So Bad is a melancholic yet catchy tune about the pain of being in a relationship where one person is more invested than the other. The lyrics convey the message that sometimes you know deep down that the relationship is not going to work and that it’s best to end it before it causes more hurt.


The song describes the singer's feelings of being used and disposable in a relationship where he waits in the other person’s room as they come and go. He feels lost and unable to move on, and this causes him pain. Despite this, there is a sense of longing for the other person, even though he knows that being with them will only cause more pain.


The chorus repeats the refrain "Hurt so bad" and speaks to the inevitability of the pain caused by this relationship. The singer knows it's going to hurt but can't resist the pull of the other person. He regrets not leaving sooner, but his desire for them is stronger than his will to end things.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the pain of holding on to a relationship that is not meant to be. The singer knows he will hurt, but he can't help his feelings of love and longing for the other person.
