I’m a good man
in a dark room
in a big town
under a full moon
it’s a friday and I’m almost home
I’m in a good place
full of head space
got a brand new pack in my suitcase
but it’s dinner and then it's bed alone
How do you break a mended heart?
I'm bored and want something to do
I wanna fall, fall asleep
asleep in the arms, the arms of a woman
a woman who doesn't, doesn’t deserve my love
I wanna lie, lie to myself
myself and someone else
just to feel something, something that hurts me
the hurt makes me feel alive
Gonna make it, like I need her
gonna miss her the moment I meet her
and it’s only gonna get worse from there
I’ll be rappin' there in the shower
she’ll be here by the end of the hour
I can do better
but I can’t do better now
How do you break a mended heart?
I'm bored and want something to do
I wanna fall, fall asleep
asleep in the arms, the arms of a woman
a woman who doesn’t, doesn’t deserve my love
I wanna lie, lie to myself
myself and someone else
just to feel something, something that hurts me
the hurt makes me feel alive
So long is over
nice to skip the chance you get to know you
why did I think this was true?
Because I wanted to
I wanna fall, fall asleep
asleep in the arms, the arms of a woman
a woman who doesn’t, doesn’t deserve my love
I wanna lie, lie to myself
myself and someone else
just to feel something, something that hurts me
the hurt makes me feel alive
I wanna fall
I wanna kneel
I wanna laugh, cry, say goodbye
beg, lie, cheat and steal

Review about The Hurt wow | Reviewer: mike | 9/29/09
I connect with this song so much and its crazy how john has the ability to do it for me song after song. After being in a long relationship, its hard to find someone else you care about that much and you feel like all the love in you is gone and there is no capacity to feel that again. So you settle for less and be with girls who dont deserve your love. and you want the hurt, just so you feel alive or some feel like you were taking a step back in the direction of love again. John is the MANNN
I so identify with the woman whose heart and soul he would be "using" to fulfill these needs. He is being honest about his needs and how he might kid himself and the woman into believing there is something real going on here because he just wants to feel real love so much. I can appreciate this. But this is sending mixed messages to the other party involved. Not fair...sorry, just not. Wish he had in the end resolve, I WON'T lie, lie to myself and someone else just to,,,". Now that takes real love!
Every single day that passes I am more amazed by his ability to take a simple idea and turn it into a gut wrenching song that becomes a universal truth. I didn't think I would ever be able to say this, but I think this song speaks to me more than any other he has ever done. How true is it to be so needing of love that you will settle, "I can do better, but I can't do better now," instead of having to face another night alone. Wow John! You have done it again...
great song | Reviewer: Lauren | 6/25/07
I heard this song for the first time on youtube...I really love it. The entire idea of the song - being bored with the simplicity of your life - is completely relatable. Even to the extent that you'd prefer a destructive relationship to none at all. I wish he'd release the song...
