“Hurt by You” tells a true story about letting go of doubt when falling in love and embracing the relationship—even if it fails.
It’s the debut single from Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Emily Warren.
A blurred version of the song cover was teased on April 24, 2017, with a snippet being te...
[Intro]
Ye-e-ah, oh-oh!
[Verse 1]
I see this scene where you walk down the hallway
I try to stop you, but you don't wait
It's exactly what I was afraid of, you don't love me anymore
And I know the part where you say you're unfaithful
Sittin' at the kitchen table
In that moment in-between I love and fuckin' hate you
I'm not sure, not sure
[Pre-Chorus]
Why that isn't stopping me
So come sweep me off my feet
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna give, give you all that I got
And I wanna believe we'll defy all the odds
And I hope you don't hurt me
But oh, if you do
It would be worth getting hurt by you
[Verse 2]
Everybody's got their own opinion
And I hate, but admit it
It's naive to think that you and I are somehow different
From anyone else
And I give myself, but only giving fractions
This is not what I imagined
Gotta put myself out on the line and see what happens
Before I give up
[Pre-Chorus]
But that isn't stopping me
So come sweep me off my feet
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna give, give you all that I got
And I wanna believe we'll defy all the odds
And I hope you don't hurt me
But oh, if you do
It would be worth getting hurt by you
[Bridge]
Oh, I could wonder
Will our love survive?
Oh, but what a waste of time
Whoa-oh
[Chorus]
I wanna give, give you all that I got
And I wanna believe we'll defy all the odds
And I hope you don't hurt me
But oh, if you do
It would be worth getting hurt by you
Getting hurt by, by you-ou-ou
Getting hurt by, by you-ou-ou
By you-ou-ou
Oh, it would be worth getting hurt by you

My people,
the day is finally here. Tomorrow my first song as an artist comes out.
“Hurt by You” is a true story. A snapshot of my experience and a rea...
I wrote that early on in the relationship that I’m in now. I wrote it with Nick Ruth and Scott Harris. We had this really long conversation where I was saying, ‘in my life, I have almost no examples of successful relationships.’ My parents are happily married, but they’ve both been divorced, and I f...
I’m just recently toying with the idea of an album. In my head, I was going to do just one song at a time, but we’ve got enough songs now, and I’d rather give people a body of work to see what they gravitate towards instead of feeding them one song at a time. I’ll probably do a handful of songs one...
