He's Hurting Me Lyrics
first thoughts - about her father?
nahh its not about her father as she chose to go and live with him at age 13
I think it's just about an abusive relationship. Maybe he acused her of cheating or something along those lines. "I don't know why he seems convinced I'm lying" she tells him she's not but he doesn't believe her. "Now get him off his fucking throne" He thinks hes the boss or in higher control. "It's not his fault I made him lose his temper I should know better not to talk too loud" Maybe she said something to him or around him she shouldn't have. That's just what I think though.
I'm totally sure is about an abusive relationship, agreed with xskiesx
the characteristics of an abused woman, she always apologizes even though she knows she is right and he is worng. She's also begging him to stay and not to leave her, abused women tend to be houseband's dependant and insecure.
"First of all thank you for your list of songs related to abuse. I've recently left an abusive marriage and listening to music that's empowering or at least understanding to it has really helped. Just wanted to send you a suggestion of an album related to abuse that's significantly helped me (didn't see it anywhere on your lists). Specifically, a song called He's Hurting Me done by Maria Mena from her Apparently Unaffected album. The whole album appears to reflect her own struggle with a troubled (and likely abusive) relationship."
