hurt my feelings Lyrics

[Intro]
She wears your number, but I got what you like
She's got you right now, but I’m still on your mind

[Verse 1]
I should've known better
You should've known better than me
Nights staying up talking
Told me everything except where was she
Now I’ve got you figured out
I'm tryna tell myself
I'm gonna stay away from you
I should've known better
You got a way that's gonna weigh-weigh on me

[Chorus]
(Oh, na-na-na-na) Got me heavy breathin'
(Oh, na-na-na-na) Every time we're speakin'
(Oh, na-na-na-na) Got me real, real deep in
Want you so bad, baby, hurt my feelings
(Oh, na-na-na-na) Got me mеssed up dreamin’
(Oh, na-na-na-na) That your girlfriend’s lеavin'
(Oh, na-na-na-na) Got me real, real deep in
Want you so bad, baby, hurt my feelings

[Verse 2]
I wanna do somethin’ I know ain't polite, like
Show up at your house without callin' (Callin')
Like doin’ somethin' batshit, and make you fall all in
She's where you're wakin' up
She's got you makin' up such pretty boy excuses
Ooh, but I know one thing (One thing)
She can't stop it happenin' in my mind (Oh, na, na)

What did Tate McRae say about "hurt my feelings"?

This is one of my more risky songs, and it talks about wanting someone that you can’t have and that isn’t yours and being like, ‘God, I feel like I find myself daydreaming about this one person over and over again, but they’re just not mine. The only thing I can do is write about it.’ It’s funny, because I feel like this song is misinterpreted a lot, because the title is the opposite of what I’m saying. What I’m saying is I want you to hurt my feelings. I want you to be in my life. I want you so bad and I just can’t have you.
