John Mayer – The Hurt Lyrics 14 years ago
You guys have got this wrong. The man is numb and bored, he's not hurt, just hasnt been challenged by a girl in a long time.

He knows he can have who he wants but is unwilling to wait for it.

The hurt refers to producing emotions in other people that may hopefuly pierce his numbness. This is preferable to the bored numbness of knowing you can have anyone but want no one in particular.

What makes this song great is this is such an original and unsellable concept, because most of the population is on the other end. They are not good looking charming musicians and want to relate to pain, not numb superiority.
