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
Verse 1
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
