Hurts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here I am again, back to my old ways
Frozen with my thoughts
Wasting all my younger days
And I just can't decide, should I be alone?
Hate the way I am, up every night, glued to my phone
[Chorus]
Please tell me why it's easy at first
But then it all breaks
The more you love, the more it hurts
And I was just fine if it didn't work
But now that you're mine
The more I love, the more it hurts, oh
[Verse 2]
Honestly, it's me, I am so messed up
Making all the ones who care about me wanna run
The sunset's black and white, it didn't used to be
I remember when it was pink skies, just you and me
[Chorus]
Please tell me why it's easy at first
But then it all breaks
The more you love, the more it hurts
And I was just fine if it didn't work
But now that you're mine
The more I love, the more it hurts, oh
Ye-eah, oh oh
The more you love, the more it hurts
Here I am again, back to my old ways
Frozen with my thoughts
Wasting all my younger days
And I just can't decide, should I be alone?
Hate the way I am, up every night, glued to my phone
[Chorus]
Please tell me why it's easy at first
But then it all breaks
The more you love, the more it hurts
And I was just fine if it didn't work
But now that you're mine
The more I love, the more it hurts, oh
[Verse 2]
Honestly, it's me, I am so messed up
Making all the ones who care about me wanna run
The sunset's black and white, it didn't used to be
I remember when it was pink skies, just you and me
[Chorus]
Please tell me why it's easy at first
But then it all breaks
The more you love, the more it hurts
And I was just fine if it didn't work
But now that you're mine
The more I love, the more it hurts, oh
Ye-eah, oh oh
The more you love, the more it hurts
[Bridge]
I can't help myself
You're the one I want
It might be bad right now
But losing you would really suck
[Chorus]
Please tell me why it's easy at first
But then it all breaks
The more you love, the more it hurts
And I was just fine if it didn't work
But now that you're mine
The more I love, the more it hurts, oh
Ye-eah, oh oh
The more you love, the more it hurts
Ye-eah, oh oh
The more I love, the more it hurts, oh

Genius Answer
The essence of this song is the pain that is tied to love and loss: “the more you love, the more it hurts.” Vulnerability is a terrifying thing to allow into one’s life, but it is nonetheless inevitable. Wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve opens up the possibility of worse heartache — but can’t it be worthwhile?
