Hurt

This song was writen by Linda Perry, christina went to her with a small piano mellody and asked her to write the lyrics for it, she told linda that she wanted it to be about "pain", linda had six months prior lost her father and ended up writeing the entire song music mellody and lyrics all about her father, when christina heard it she ended up loveing it so much she simply recorded the lyrics and used it on the album.

Its a very powerful and in a way peacful song.

Sorry guys this is a gonna be a long post: Whenever I hear this song I think about my father. My mom raised me on her own and I never got to see my dad ever. I think the last time I saw him was wen I was in grade one. All my life I had been angry at him for not making an effort to come see me. I would also hate him for just not being there for me cos there are times in life when a girl needs her father there for her to help her through certain things and at times I would blame him for my problems in relationships.

In July this year he passed away. And I was still angry at him only this time I was angry at him cos he had left without seeing me one more time, without even telling me once in my life ever that he loved me. I was angry cos he died without explaining to me why he was never there for me. And as I sat on my bed one afternoon while listening to music this song came along. Up until that day I was unable to cry about my dad passing, this song came on and I was sobbing. Especially in the chorus where she sings “I would hold you in my arms I would take the pain away Thank you for all you've done Forgive all your mistakes There's nothing I wouldn't do To hear your voice again” After my mom told me why my dad was so absent it started making sense to me why he couldn’t be there for me. “Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help understand? Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am?” These questions are questions that will always haunt me because I will never have them answered from him.

“There's nothing I wouldn't do To have just one more chance To look into your eyes And see you looking back” in this song at least they got to look into their dads eyes in my case I would sing There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to have just that one chance to look into his eyes. And just like the song says if I had one more day I would tell him how much I missed him since he left that last time I saw him in Grade 1.

“I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself by hurting you” And most importantly for me on my side Now that I do know the whole story I am truly sorry for blaming him for everything I couldn’t do and I now realise that in me hating him I have hurt him and more importantly hurt myself more than I can ever imagine.

this song makes me cry so much. Because my dad abused my mother and hurt me some. He left when i was a baby, but i still see him sometimes. I dont feel love from him, his life has been thrown away. for years i denied even having a father, i hated him. but, not until some short time ago. I realized how much i miss him, how i wish i had my dad here. I miss him. And this song says everything that i cant say.

This reminds me of my Grandfather. It makes me sad.

I'll be honest, Christina is not one of my favourites, but this song is one of the best, if not the best I've heard this year. I can't relate to it but it still gets me emotional every time I hear it.

this song reminds me when my dad died, i was only 13, its really touching i love it.

i dont even listen to this kinda music but i LOVEEE this song its so good.

__< i really should start respecting my parents..

I almost forgot to add, did anyone see her perform this song @ the 2006 VMA's? Beautiful song, Stunning woman, gorgeous dress!

Her performance was so chilling (in a good way).

I love this song sooo much, I`ve just bought back to basics and this record will make history. Christina is "the voice" of our era.

BY the way, I also bought "a public affair" by jessica simpson and it`s a sh*t of a album

it's me again...

i just saw the world premier of this video and once againnnn. i'm in tears.

i'm going to sound like a cold hearted bitch but please hear me out...

my mom and i fight about everything, and it's all my fault. i have never told anyone in my family that i love them because it's just hard for me for some reason. i'll yell at her and i'll say mean things to her and she'll cry and cry and cry........but she keeps on loving me.

i really want to stop and to apologize to her somehow but i don't know how to do it and i'm scared. i'm 17, a senior in high school, and i'm starting my new life as a college student next year. i can't let these years with her slip away.

i need help. please.
