“Your Name Hurts” is the second track on Hailee Steinfeld’s EP, Half Written Story. It’s about how a significant other let her down and left her and even the person’s name hurts her. She hopes that in turn, her name hurts her ex as well.
[Intro]
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na)
[Verse 1]
We're a half-written story without any ending
You left me to figure it out
Filled me with ecstasy, left with the best of me
But where's the rest of me now?
[Pre-Chorus]
Honestly, I don't regret you
I just wish I never met you
Part of me wants to upset you, ah
Every single letter's killing me
Don't know why it always gets to me
Every time I hear that sound (Ah)
[Chorus]
Your name hurts (Your name hurts)
I don't say it no more
It's like the worst of words (Worst of words)
You don't even know (Ah)
Feels like burnin' on my lips
The ones that you used to kiss
No way you ain't feelin' it too
I hope my name hurts, my name hurts
My name hurts you (You, you, you)
[Post-Chorus]
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na) Oh
[Verse 2]
And this half-written story is horror at best
The kind where the hero still dies in the end
And God only knows, maybe this is a test
'Cause I kinda wanna mess you up
But I won't, babe, not yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Wouldn't say that I regret you
But man, I wish I never met you
That your mama never even had you, ah-ah
Every single letter's killing me
Don't know why it always gets to me
Every time I hear that sound (Ah)
[Chorus]
Your name hurts (Your name hurts)
I don't say it no more
It's like the worst of words (Worst of words)
You don't even know (Ah)
Feels like burnin' on my lips
The ones that you used to kiss
No way you ain't feelin' it too
I hope my name hurts, my name hurts
My name hurts you (You, you, you)
[Post-Chorus]
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na) Your name hurts
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na) Your name hurts
[Pre-Chorus]
Honestly, I don't regret you
I just wish I never met you
Part of me wants to upset you, ah (Your name hurts)
Every single letter's killing me
Don't know why it always gets to me
Every time I hear that sound (Ah)
[Chorus]
Your name hurts
I don't say it no more
It's like the worst of words
You don't even know
Feels like burnin' on my lips
The ones that you used to kiss
No way you ain't feelin' it too
I hope my name hurts, my name hurts
My name hurts you (You, you, you)
[Outro]
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na) Your name hurts
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na) Your name hurts
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na) Do you feel it?
(Na, na, na, na, na) Your name hurts
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(Na, na, na, na, na) Oh, do you feel it?
(Na, na, na, na, na) Your name hurts
