NewJeans - Hurt (English Translation) Lyrics
Ooh-woah Ooh-woah
Ooh-woah. Ooh woah
[Verse 1: Hyein]
When I'm feeling all alone
Pull your name up on my phone
I start typing what to say
I won't send it anyway
Dragging words out one by one
From your fingers is no fun
Wait in silence, that's my way
But I'm not like this every day
[Pre-Chorus: Haerin]
I'm not into games, not gonna play
Not into your ways
But I'm never gonna break, no
Don't want you to just say the words
You should come and show me first
You should come and show me first
[Chorus: Haerin, Hanni]
'Cause I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
Hurt (No, no)
I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
Hurt (No, no)
I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
Hurt (Oh, oh, ooh)
I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt (Oh, oh, ooh)
I'm not gonna be the one to gеt hurt (Oh, oh, ooh)
I'm not gonna be the one to gеt hurt (Oh, oh, ooh)
Every night now before bed
And when I wake up again
Silent phone here in my hand
Nothing from you, I just can't
Dragging words out one by one
From your fingers is no fun
Wait in silence, that's my way
But I'm not like this every day
[Pre-Chorus: Hyein]
I'm not into games, not gonna play
Not into your ways
But I'm never gonna break, no
Don't want you to just say the words
You should come and show me first
You should come and show me first
[Chorus: Hyein, Minji]
'Cause I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
Hurt (No, no)
I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
Hurt (No, no)
I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
Hurt (Oh, oh, ooh)
Hurt (Oh, oh, ooh)
Feeling far away, come a little closer, hey
But if you're unsure
I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
Feeling far away
But if you're unsure, but if you're unsure
I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt
About
Lyrically, the song “Hurt” by NewJeans is about a person in the early stage of a one-sided relationship, the verses and the pre-chorus portray the lack of effort from the other side to develop their relationship, and how the main character is feeling tired of their situation and asking their partner to make them feel the effort they put in or should they just end it.
The essence of the lyrics is highlighted in the outro in the lines;
“Feeling far away, come a little closer, hey
But if you’re unsure
I’m not gonna be the one to get hurt”.
Asking their partner if they’re unsure of what they want or expect from the relationship so they can end it early rather than investing themselves into something only to get hurt in the end.
