Even If It Hurts Lyrics
Ooh-ooh
Ohh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: Blood Orange]
What did you expect from me?
Or were you blind to see?
Everything I laid out at your feet
Break it down for me
2AM I'm waitin' for a leap of faith from you to me
Sweat drips from my apathy
[Verse 2: Tei Shi]
I wanna wake up in the middle of the night with you
I'll put it all out on table if you ask me to
And I don't tell you where to go and who to love that ain't me (That ain't me)
All I want is honesty
[Chorus: Tei Shi]
Even if it hurts, baby
Even if you're lost, baby
Say you wanna come
Say you wanna stay
Say you wanna leave, lately
Tell me what you need, baby
I don't wanna feel crazy
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts
I just don't mind (Ooh)
I just don't mind (Ooh, ooh)
I just don't mind (Ooh)
I just don't mind (Ooh)
[Verse 3: Blood Orange]
What is it you see (See)? What you wanna keep?
I've been on a high, I can never fight
Pretty from a scene, what do you believe?
Skin and tease you so, oh, what else do you know?
I just don't mind
[Verse 4: Blood Orange & Tei Shi]
What did you expect from me?
Or were you blind to see?
Everything I laid out at your feet
Break it down for me
2AM I'm waiting for a leap of faith from you to me
Sweat drips from my apathy
[Chorus: Tei Shi]
Even if it hurts, baby
Even if it hurts, baby
Say you wanna come
Say you wanna stay
Say you wanna leave, lately
Tell me what you need, baby
I don't wanna feel crazy
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts
I just don't mind (Ooh)
I just don't mind (Ooh, ooh)
I just don't mind (Ooh)
I just don't mind (Ooh, ooh)
[Outro: Blood Orange & Tei Shi]
Come here boy
Even if it hurts, baby
Even if it hurts, baby (Even if it hurts)
Even if it hurts
I don't wanna feel crazy
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts
I just don't mind (Ooh)
I just don't mind
Even if, even if it hurts
Even if it hurts (I just don't mind)
Even if it hurts (I just don't mind)
I just don't mind (I just don't mind)
I just don't mind (I just don't mind)
I just don't mind (I just don't mind)

Q&A
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
The concept is really the realization and acceptance that pain is a natural consequence of love. It’s a duet about the ways in which we make ourselves vulnerable to those we love, sometimes at a high cost.
– Tei Shi, Exclaim
I wanted to capture the romantic and melancholic elements of the song but put them in a world that feels removed from the every day, its own little odd paradise where Dev and I existed parallel to one another but never really together.
