Hurt You
The Weeknd Gesaffelstein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And now I know relationship's my enemy
So stay away from me
I'm warning you
You try to fill the void with every man you meet
'Cause you're upset with me
I'm warning you

'Cause all the nights you slept alone dryin' your eyes
And all the nights you thought about takin' your life
'Cause if it's love you want again, don't waste your time
But if you call me up, I'm fuckin' you on sight

I don't wanna hurt you, oh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, oh
I don't wanna hurt you

When you're with him, you close your eyes and think of me
Just call me up again
I'll make you weak
Girl, I'll come and put myself between your legs
Not between your heart
Can't you see?

That all the nights you slept alone, dryin' your eyes ('cause of me, baby)
And all the nights you thought about takin' your life ('cause of me, baby)
And if it's love you want again, don't waste your time (don't you waste)
But if you call me up, I'm fuckin' you on sight

I don't wanna hurt you, ooh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, ooh, uh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, ooh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna hurt you

Oh, woah, oh-woah, woah, woah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, woah, oh-woah, woah, woah (oh-woah, woah, woah)
Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
I don't want (I don't want)
I don't want (I don't want)
I don't want (I don't want)
I don't want (I don't want)
I don't want, baby (I don't want)




I don't want, babe (I don't want)
I don't, ooh (I don't want)

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's "Hurt You" is a song about a tumultuous, destructive relationship that ended with the Weeknd realizing that romance and commitment are not good for him. He warns his ex not to come back to him because it will only lead to heartbreak. The lyrics are the Weeknd's way of expressing his significant pain and confusion. Because the song is so raw and vulnerable, it's easy to assume that it is autobiographical.


The singer does not want to hurt his partner anymore because he knows that he is not capable of being emotionally available or stable. Therefore, he warns his ex-girlfriend that she should stay away and find someone else to fill the void. Although he acknowledges her past suffering, he remains firm in his decision that they should never get close again. The chorus repeats the message that the Weeknd does not want to cause any more heartache.


The song is candid about the brutal aftermath that can occur when a romance fails to thrive. The song never implies that the Weeknd is at fault, but rather that he simply can't handle a serious romance in his life. Ultimately, the Weeknd is honest about his limits and his emotional and physical needs. The song feels like a warning to his ex-girlfriend that if she does decide to return to him, it will not end well for either of them.


Line by Line Meaning

And now I know relationship's my enemy
I have realized that being in a relationship is harmful for me


So stay away from me
Please keep your distance from me


I'm warning you
I am giving you a cautionary statement


You try to fill the void with every man you meet
You attempt to fill the emptiness inside with any man you encounter


'Cause you're upset with me
Because you are angry at me


‘Cause all the nights you slept alone dryin' your eyes
All the times you spent alone crying yourself to sleep


And all the nights you thought about takin' your life
And all the times you contemplated ending your life


‘Cause if it's love you want again, don't waste your time
Because if you seek love once more, it would be a futile effort


But if you call me up, I'm fuckin' you on sight
However, if you contact me, I am going to have sex with you immediately


I don't wanna hurt you, oh
I do not intend to harm you


When you're with him, you close your eyes and think of me
When you are with him, you imagine me instead


Just call me up again
Simply contact me once more


I'll make you weak
I will make you powerless


Girl, I'll come and put myself between your legs
Honey, I will have sex with you


Not between your heart
Without considering your emotions


Can't you see?
Can't you understand my point?


Oh, woah, oh-woah, woah, woah
Vocalization of rhythm


I don't want (I don't want)

I do not want it, babe


I don't, ooh (I don't want)
I do not want it
