Mika’s song ‘Hurts’ is a modern twist on the phrase ‘sticks and stones may break bones but words will never hurt me’, the song is most easily applied to the pain caused by bullying becuase words truly do hurt. His video, set in a school, suggests this too.
[Verse 1]
How do we end up like this, under a burning sky?
Some things are better unsaid, it's easier to lie
I'm pulling but my heart is on the wire
Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in
Doesn't take a fool to start a fire
A solitary spark and wars begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it's only words
And that it will get easier with time
Nothings only words
That's how hearts gets hurt
[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words you said
I can't stop hearing
All the words you said
I can't stop hearing words
That's how hearts get hurt
[Verse 2]
How did it all come to this?
We started off as friends
It makes it easy to leave
If we're strangers by the end
I'm pulling but my heart is on the wire
Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in
Doesn't take a fool to start a fire
Solitary spark and wars begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it's only words
And that it will get easier with time
Nothings only words
That's how hearts gets hurt
[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing words
That's how hearts get hurt
[Bridge]
You say it's only words
And that it will get easier with time
Nothings only words
That's how hearts get hurt
You say it's only words
It doesn't matter if they're yours or mine
Nothings only words
That's how hearts get hurt
[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
Let's stop using word
That's how hearts get hurt
