Vargas & Lagola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta go, you've got me hurting
I'm down to call it even
But you know I've got no reason
Holy Mary Mother
There will never be another
They can call us heathens
It hurts to be hurt
We're lovers on the road again
Nothing is the same, but still it is
Yeah, still it is
Don't you know it feels good to feel good?
You linger like an old refrain
Nothing is the same, but still it is
Yeah, still it is
I know I'm not the only
Feeling better when you hold me
I'm down to call it even
'Cause every fool has got a reason
Holy Mary Mother
There will never be another
They can call us heathens
But, baby, don't stop believing
It hurts to be hurt
We're lovers on the road again
Nothing is the same, but still it is
Yeah, still it is
Don't you know it feels good to feel good?
You linger like an old refrain
Nothing is the same, but still it is
Yeah, still it is
Oh, it hurts to be hurt
We're lovers on the road again
Nothing is the same, but still it is
Yeah, still it is
Don't you know it feels good to feel good?
You linger like an old refrain
Nothing is the same, but still it is
Yeah, still it is
The lyrics to "Hurts To Be Hurt" by Vargas & Lagola convey a complicated and conflicting emotional dynamic between two lovers. The song explores the pain and paradoxes that come with being in a relationship. The first verse reflects the intense love they share, but also acknowledges the hurt that comes along with it. The line "Gotta go, you've got me hurting" suggests that the singer is torn between staying in the relationship despite the pain they feel. They express a willingness to forgive and move on, even though they don't have a clear reason to do so. The mention of "Holy Mary Mother" adds a spiritual or religious reference, emphasizing how unique and irreplaceable their connection is.
The chorus repeats the line "It hurts to be hurt," emphasizing the recurring pattern of love and pain in their relationship. Despite the challenges they face, they continue to be together and embark on their journey as "lovers on the road again." The line "Nothing is the same, but still it is" reflects the paradox of their situation. While they acknowledge that things may have changed, they still find comfort and familiarity in their love.
The second verse mirrors the first, with the singer recognizing that they are not alone in finding solace in their lover's embrace. They reiterate their willingness to forgive and call it even, as every fool has their reasons. The reference to being called heathens suggests that their unconventional love may be judged by others, but they encourage each other to hold on to their beliefs and not give up on their love.
