Lyrics:
Think I met you before I met myself
You were laughing I was scared as hell
Think my jokes are better now, can’t tell
I can never tell
Thought it’d be another weekend thing
I was focused on my sleep and daydreams
But you hit me like a shot of caffeine
Yeah you woke me up

Morning dripping through your broke blinds
Bedside, come and kiss me
With your sleep eyes
Nothing I would ever do
To hurt you

Know how much it took to let me in
Know commitment can be hit or miss
Never want to need a second chance
No, I never do, for you, I’ll be bulletproof

Cause you gave me your heart I could break it
But it tears me apart just to say it
Like falling from empire state to the pavement
No, I couldn’t face it, no

Morning dripping through your broke blinds
Bedside, come and kiss me
With your sleep eyes
Nothing I would ever do
To lose the way you
Trust me with your secrets
Pillow talking
Wanna stay like this like
Nothing I would ever do
To hurt you

Yeah you know, yeah you know
You’re my favorite

Think I met you before I met myself
Kinda feels like I was someone else
You gave everything that I never felt
Oh, no I never felt

Morning dripping through your broke blinds
Bedside, come and kiss me
With your sleep eyes
Nothing I would ever do
To lose the way you
Trust me with your secrets
Pillow talking
Wanna stay like this like
Nothing I would ever do
To hurt you

Yeah you know, yeah you know
You’re my favorite
Hurt you
Yeah you know, yeah you know
You’re my favorite

Hurt U (Stripped) [Live]

Pennsylvania

Sitting in a café in Marrakesh, surrounded by voices flowing in Arabic, French, Berber, and more, I felt the weight of languages I could not speak. I thought five tongues would be enough, but here I am, realizing how small that really is. The regret cuts deepest when I think of China, where I lived for two years but never managed to truly learn the language. I can still say “我会说一点点中文,” but it is just a fragment, a shadow of what could have been. This song is a reflection of that longing—the beauty of words I cannot catch, the doors I never opened, and the promise that it is never too late to learn.
