HURT
Witt Lowry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(It hurts too much to be left alone)
(I know I was never in your plans)
(But it doesn't feel right in her bed)
(It hurts to know)
Yeah
If only I knew to
Or wake up just to go back asleep
I hope you and him live happily
But the memories, girl, you gon' have to keep
All the lies that you told me are on repeat
I don't know what's real, you lied through your teeth
If I could take the feelings that I have for you
Just like our pics, I'd press delete
I've been contemplating a hundred times
About a hundred facts I found out were lies
I know you used me just to pass the time
But you could never say I didn't fucking try
What you meant to me is what I mean to art
Was real with you from the fucking start
You played games with my fucking heart
And after you, I fell a-fucking-part, damn
I know we weren't perfect
I guess I thought we were worth it
I guess your love was uncertain
You're busy at the club flirting
Friends just keep feedin' you Bourbon
Car smelling like his cologne and your weed
For months I would think, "Is he better than me?"
I know that he can't love you better than me
I wonder, was it your intention to cheat?
Can't believe I believed you
Keep telling myself I don't need you
When talking to her, I just see you
Alone, but surrounded by people
Maybe one day you'll change and he'll reap the benefits
'Cause all you left me were questions and pain
Don't know why I care if you're feeling the same
I need to just get you up out of my brain (it hurts to know)
I know I was never the plan
You're not the you you would claim
You're not the person I met
Don't know the you you became
Was addicted though to the pain
And the constant games that you play
Just being real when I say that still (it hurts to know)
And I tried to give you a chance
But things were never the same
I ended up all alone
You ended up with a lame
Was addicted though to the pain
And the constant games that you play
Just being real when I say that still (it hurts to know)
It doesn't feel right with you gone
It hurts too much to be left alone
I know I was never in your plan
But it doesn't feel right in her bed
It hurts to know
Still, you're who my family adores
Maybe that's why it's hard to ignore you
After all of the time that we spent
Sad to think that I still didn't know you
Woke up in a city that we've never been to
I wish I could show you
Even my music, I put it below you
Just know I would've done anything for you (it hurts to know)
Remember I told you I felt inadequate
Because you came from a family with money
And me, I have nothing, I work as a waiter
With visions of turning myself into something
The music was buzzing but I couldn't pay for a bill
Off of people just saying they love it
Had class in the morning, had work in the evening
Then write through the night with no food in my stomach (it hurts to know)
Just know that it's hard, damn
Girl, it's so fucking hard
I keep telling myself that I need to move on
But it's hard to get close when you have up a guard
I know everything changed
The old me would probably feel shame
For the bottles I've bought on my card
You would go to the bar while I was stuck working the double
To pay for the tank in my car (it hurts to know)
And I guess that it's best I pretend like I don't give a fuck
Even though, to be real, I'm a mess
I've been trying to find anything I can find
Just to fill in the hole in my chest
And it's sad to believe that a picture with me
Is a picture of you and an ex
You should know that it takes everything within me
To delete when I'm sending a text, like
It doesn't feel right with you gone
It hurts too much to be left alone (it hurts to know)
I know I was never in your plans (it hurts to know)
And I just can't get you out my head
It hurts to know
(It doesn't feel right with you gone)
The lyrics of Witt Lowry's song Hurt is an emotional journey of a man's experience after a break-up. The first few lines of the chorus suggest that he is struggling to move on, with the absence of his ex-partner hurting him immensely, even though he knows that he was never a part of her plans. He finds it difficult to accept his ex-partner being in someone else's bed, which is tearing him apart.
The song's verses take listeners back to the failed relationship and how the singer tried his best. However, he was eventually played and cheated on by his ex-partner. He expresses his thoughts about how he tried to give her a chance, tried to make things work, but in the end, he was left with nothing but hurt and pain. Running out of trust and feeling like a fool, the singer wonders if his partner intended to cheat on him all along.
On the other hand, the lyrics also highlight how the singer's ex-partner was someone everyone in his family appreciated, and even then, she betrayed and hurt him badly. The song also talks about how the singer struggled to find his footing in life and felt inadequate due to having nothing while his partner came from a wealthy family. Though he tried to make strides with his music, the uphill struggles of life kept taking a toll on him. Overall, the lyrics are an emotionally vulnerable confession of a person who is struggling to come to terms with his failed relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
It doesn't feel right with you gone
Life doesn't feel like it's supposed to without you
It hurts too much to be left alone
Being alone hurts too much
I know I was never in your plans
You never intended for me to be a part of your life
But it doesn't feel right in her bed
It feels wrong that you're with someone else
It hurts to know
What I know about us hurts me
If only I knew to
If only I had known how to
Love you, I would lose me
I would sacrifice myself to love you
Or wake up just to go back to sleep
I'm not sure whether I'm awake or dreaming
I hope you and him live happily
I wish you happiness with your new partner
But the memories, girl, you gon' have to keep
You'll have to hold on to the memories we shared
All the lies that you told me are on repeat
The lies you told me keep playing in my head
I don't know what's real, you lied through your teeth
I don't know what to believe, you lied to me
If I could take the feelings that I have for you
If I could just make these feelings go away
Just like our pics, I'd press delete
I'd erase all evidence of our relationship
I've been contemplating a hundred times
I've been thinking about this a lot
About a hundred facts I found out were lies
I discovered a lot of things you lied about
I know you used me just to pass the time
You were just using me to entertain yourself
But you could never say I didn't f***ing try
At least I can say that I tried my best
What you meant to me is what I mean to art
You were my inspiration, now art is my inspiration
Was real with you from the f***ing start
I was honest with you since the beginning
You played games with my f***ing heart
You hurt me by playing with my emotions
And after you, I fell a-f***ing-part, damn
My life fell apart after our relationship ended
I know we weren't perfect
Our relationship wasn't perfect
I guess I thought we were worth it
I thought we were worth the effort
I guess your love was uncertain
Your love for me was uncertain
You're busy at the club flirting
You're too busy flirting with other men at the club
Friends just keep feedin' you Bourbon
Your friends keep buying you alcohol
Car smelling like his cologne and your weed
Your car smells like his cologne and your weed
For months I would think, "Is he better than me?"
I've been questioning whether he's better than me for months
I know that he can't love you better than me
I know he can't love you the way I did
I wonder, was it your intention to cheat?
I'm questioning whether you cheated on me intentionally
Can't believe I believed you
I can't believe I fell for your lies
Keep telling myself I don't need you
I keep trying to convince myself that I don't need you
When talking to her, I just see you
When I talk to other women, I just think of you
Alone, but surrounded by people
I feel alone even when I'm around others
Maybe one day you'll change and he'll reap the benefits
Maybe one day you'll realize your mistake and he'll benefit from it
'Cause all you left me were questions and pain
All you gave me were unanswered questions and pain
Don't know why I care if you're feeling the same
I don't know why I care whether you feel the same way
I need to just get you up out of my brain (it hurts to know)
I need to forget about you, but it's painful
You're not the you you would claim
You're not who you used to be
You're not the person I met
You're not the person I fell in love with
Don't know the you you became
I don't know the person you've become
Was addicted though to the pain
I was addicted to the pain you caused me
And the constant games that you play
And the games you constantly play with my emotions
Just being real when I say that still (it hurts to know)
I'm just being honest when I say that it still hurts to know
And I tried to give you a chance
I tried to make our relationship work
But things were never the same
But things never went back to how they used to be
I ended up all alone
I ended up alone
You ended up with a lame
You ended up with someone who's not good enough for you
It doesn't feel right with you gone
Life doesn't feel like it's supposed to without you
It hurts too much to be left alone
Being alone hurts too much
I know I was never in your plan
You never intended for me to be a part of your life
And I just can't get you out my head
I can't stop thinking about you
Still, you're who my family adores
My family still loves you
Maybe that's why it's hard to ignore you
That's probably why I find it hard to forget about you
After all of the time that we spent
After all the time we spent together
Sad to think that I still didn't know you
It's sad to realize that I still didn't know you well enough
Woke up in a city that we've never been to
I woke up in a city that we never visited together
I wish I could show you
I wish you were here with me
Even my music, I put it below you
I put you above even my passion for music
Just know I would've done anything for you (it hurts to know)
Just know that I would've done anything for you, even though it hurts me now
Remember I told you I felt inadequate
I told you that I felt inferior to you
Because you came from a family with money
Because you were from a wealthy family
And me, I have nothing, I work as a waiter
And I have nothing, I work as a waiter
With visions of turning myself into something
But I have dreams of making something of myself
The music was buzzing but I couldn't pay for a bill
My music was popular, but I couldn't even pay my bills
Off of people just saying they love it
Even though people said they loved my music
Had class in the morning, had work in the evening
I had school in the morning and work in the evening
Then write through the night with no food in my stomach (it hurts to know)
I would write music all night without eating, even though it hurts me now
Girl, it's so f***ing hard
It's so hard to get over you
I keep telling myself that I need to move on
I keep trying to convince myself to move on
But it's hard to get close when you have up a guard
It's hard to move on when you're still guarded
I know everything changed
I know everything is different now
The old me would probably feel shame
The old me would probably feel ashamed
For the bottles I've bought on my card
For buying alcohol with my credit card
You would go to the bar while I was stuck working the double
You would go to the bar while I was working double shifts
To pay for the tank in my car (it hurts to know)
To pay for the gas in my car, even though it hurts me now
And I guess that it's best I pretend like I don't give a f***
I guess it's best to pretend like I don't care
Even though, to be real, I'm a mess
Even though I'm really a mess inside
I've been trying to find anything I can find
I've been trying to find anything to fill the void you left
Just to fill in the hole in my chest
Just to fill the emptiness I feel inside
And it's sad to believe that a picture with me
It's sad to think that a picture of me is actually a picture of you and your ex
Is a picture of you and an ex
Is a picture of you and your ex
You should know that it takes everything within me
You should know that it's really hard for me
To delete when I'm sending a text, like
To stop myself from texting you, like
It doesn't feel right with you gone
Life doesn't feel like it's supposed to without you
It hurts too much to be left alone (it hurts to know)
Being alone hurts too much, and it hurts me to know that
I know I was never in your plans (it hurts to know)
You never intended for me to be a part of your life, and it hurts me to know that
And I just can't get you out my head
I can't stop thinking about you
It hurts to know
What I know about us hurts me

It doesn't feel right with you gone (Gone, gone)
It hurts too much to be left alone ('Lone, 'lone)
I know I was never in your plans (Plans, plans)
But it doesn't feel right in her bed (Bed, bed)
It hurts to know
Still, you're who my family adores
Maybe that's why it's hard to ignore you
After all of the time that we spent
Sad to think that I still didn't know you
Woke up in a city that we've never been to

And me, I have nothing, I work as a waiter
With visions of turning myself into something
The music was buzzing, but I couldn't pay for a bill
Off of people just saying they love it
Had class in the morning, had work in the evening
Then right through the night with no food in my stomach
Just know that it's hard
Damn, girl, it's so fucking hard
I keep tellin' myself that I need to move on
But it's hard to get close when you haven't been gone
I know everything changed, the old me will prolly
Feel shamed for the bottles I've bought on my card
You would go to the bar while I was stuck working the double
To pay for the tank on my car
And I guess that it's best I pretend like I don't give a fuck
Even though to be real I'm a mess
I've been trying to find anything I can find
Just to fill in the hole in my chest
And it's sad to belive that a picture with me
Is a picture of you and an ex
You should know that it takes everything within me
To delete when I'm sending you text, like
It doesn't feel right with you gone
It hurts too much to be left alone (It hurts to know)
I know I was never in your plans (It hurts to know)
And I ain't just can't get you out my head
It hurts to know
