A recurring theme throughout the album is giving in to someone or something out of desperation. However this cut mentions the protagonist’s will to actually fight back and not give in. He still fails in the end though out of weakness.
[Verse]
I'll walk fifteen steps across the room
I'll stay there until I know where I am
I won't move until I know where I am
I won't move until I (Until I)
Remember where I am (Until I)
I won't move until I remember (Remember)
Until I (Until I)
Remember (Remember)
I should have hurt you (I should have hurt you)
I couldn't hurt you (I couldn't hurt you)
So I let you hurt me (So I let you hurt me)
Because I need you (Because I need you)
[Outro]
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
I should have hurt you, I should have hurt you
