“Hurts” is the first single from Emeli Sande’s second studio album, Long Live The Angels, and it’s her first release in four years since her critically acclaimed debut album, Our Version Of Events. “Hurts” has Sandé singing about the agony of being in love while hands clap, strings soar and a gospel...
[Intro]
Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
[Verse 1]
Hold tight, it's a sing-along
I'm alright, I'm alright, but I could be wrong, baby
I know you remember me
5'3" in the back of the library, come on
You could at least try, look at me
Ah man, ah man, what a tragedy, ha-ha
Bang, bang, there goes paradise
Ah shit, why we always have to roll the dice, la-la
Hearts beating irregular
Two seats in the back of the cinema, hazy
Ah yeah, you forgetting that
And all the mad shit we did after that, crazy
Your heart's a cold November
I swear you're giving me shivers, shivers
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
When all that's left to do is watch it burn
Oh baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
[Verse 2]
Hold on, it's a marathon
Run fast, run fast like the rivers run, goddamn
Another scene in the restaurant
Ah, took a minute 'til the penny dropped, you know
My tears don't fall too often
But your knife is cutting me deep
Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
When all that's left to do is watch it burn
Oh yeah, baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
[Bridge]
It hurts the way that you pretend you don't remember
It hurts the way that you forget our times together
Like the time late in bed when you said it's forever, baby
I can't, I can't explain no more
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
When all that's left to do is watch it burn
Oh baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
[Outro]
Oh baby, I'm not made of stone, it hurts
Loving you the way I do, it hurts
Hurts was written by Emeli Sandé & James Murray & Matthew Holmes & Mustafa Omer & Philip Leigh.
Hurts was produced by Mac & Phil & Mojam.
Emeli Sandé released Hurts on Fri Sep 16 2016.
Speaking about the track to the Official Charts, Emeli said:
I wanted to release ‘Hurts' first because it felt like everything I’d avoided saying for so long. It’s a real explosion. It’s everything I wish I’d said years and years ago. I didn’t want to hold anything back anymore.
Emeli also explain...
This song is just an outburst of emotion. It’s a conversation, and it’s an angry conversation. Like, “You know what? You need to stop speaking. I’m going to tell you exactly how I feel.” When you get to the bottom of an argument, and you’re just saying, “Actually, whatever you’re going to say to me,...
I wrote it with Phil Lee, who was playing the bass. It was Christmas time in England. We were out in the country, so that’s where the chorus came from. And then we went to another studio, and we were all having dinner. It was a residential studio. There were ping pong tables, a dining table, and a b...
