Hurt You
The Weeknd 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 lyrics of The Weeknd's song Hurt You can be interpreted as a conversation between two former lovers. The singer, who seems to be the male counterpart in the relationship, warns the other person to stay away from him because he believes that relationships are his enemy. He acknowledges that the other person is upset with him and tries to fill the void by seeking comfort in other men. However, the singer warns that if the other person reaches out to him, he will give in to their desires and engage in a physical relationship.


The singer seems to have a lot of power over the other person and is aware of the emotional hold he has on them. He reminds the other person of the nights they spent crying and contemplating suicide because of him. He also claims that when the other person is with someone else, they think of him. He offers himself as a temporary physical escape but makes it clear that he is not interested in anything long-term.


Overall, the lyrics of this song depict a toxic and unhealthy relationship where one person has control over the other's emotions and is willing to exploit it for their own pleasure. The singer seems apathetic to the other person's feelings and warns them that they will "hurt you" if they get too close.
