Love Hurt Me
Pop-R&B ballad with a slow half-time groove, warm keys, soft 808 pulses, and a restrained drum pocket; verse stays intimate with sparse piano and finger snaps, pre-chorus opens with layered harmonies and a rising pad, chorus lands on stacked doubles and a chantable hook. Add reversed cymbal swells, a filtered bass lift before each chorus, and a final lift with wide ad-libs and echo throws. Close-mic lead vocal, emotional and breathy, with glossy but tender mix

Lyrics
I gave you my soft parts
Right in your hands
Thought love would be shelter
Not where I land
You said stay close, baby
So I stayed close
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the floor feels colder
When you walk away
I keep your name
Under my tongue all day
I tried to hold on
But my heart won't bend
[Chorus]
Love is hurtful to some people like
Really hurt me
Really hurt me
Love is hurtful to some people like
You cut deep
You cut deep
And I still can't leave
[Verse 2]
I saw your jacket
On the back of the chair
Made a whole dark room
Out of thin air
You laughed so easy
I broke so slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the floor feels colder
When you walk away
I keep your name
Under my tongue all day
I tried to hold on
But my heart won't bend
[Chorus]
Love is hurtful to some people like
Really hurt me
Really hurt me
Love is hurtful to some people like
You cut deep
You cut deep
And I still can't leave
[Bridge]
Maybe I wanted
Too much from you
Maybe I trusted
What pain can do
If I say goodbye
Would it save me now
Would it save me now
[Chorus]
Love is hurtful to some people like
Really hurt me
Really hurt me
Love is hurtful to some people like
You cut deep
You cut deep
And I still can't leave
