[Intro]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[Verse 1]
Charlie drank it till his eyes burned
Then forgot to eat his lunch
Pain was built into his body
Heart so soft it hurt to beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely to feel something for once?
Yeah, wouldn't it be lovely to feel worth something, huh?
(Mmm, mmm)
[Chorus]
I know you can't let go
Of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
[Verse 2]
Charlie melts into his mattress
Watching Twin Peaks on his ones
Then his fingers find the bottle
When he starts to miss his mum
(Mmm, mmm)
[Pre-Chorus]
Wouldn't it be lovely to feel something for once?
Yeah, wouldn't it be lovely to feel worth something, huh?
(Mmm, mmm, mmm)
[Chorus]
I know you can't lеt go
Of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
[Bridge]
Charlie started seeing stars
So stuck on the new Jai Paul
Said, "My clothes are sticking to me
And I can't quite see my walls"
Started dreaming of a house
With red carnations by the windows
Where he didn't feel so small
So overwhelmed by all his flaws
[Chorus]
I know you can't let go
Of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
I know you can't let go
Of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
I know you can't let go
Of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
Hurt was written by Gianluca Buccellati & Arlo Parks.
Hurt was produced by Gianluca Buccellati.
Arlo Parks released Hurt on Tue Aug 18 2020.
An August 2020 NME article quotes Arlo saying:
‘Hurt’ surrounds the possibility of healing from pain and the temporary nature of suffering.
It is supposed to uplift and comfort those going through hard times.
I was coming off the back of writer’s block and feeling quite paralysed by the idea of making an album. It felt quite daunting to me. Luca [Buccellati, Parks’ co-producer and co-writer] had just come over from LA, and it was January, and we hadn’t seen each other in a while. I’d been listening to pl...
