Get Hurt Lyrics

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
Sometimes I dream some more

I keep my wounds without a bandage baby
As I come stumbling through the door

Spend my nights in dislocation
Talking to spirits on the floor

I think I came to find the feeling baby
Between what was mine and what was yours

And I came to get hurt,
Might as well do your worst to me, yeah yeah
Have you come here to get her?
Have you come to take away from me, from me, from me
Might as well do your worst to me

I think I'm gonna move to California (I think it's time to move)
Mama, can you say a pray for me? (Say a prayer for me)
I heard they don't get so low down, (All my friends get so low)
I heard they never bleed,
Not like we bleed

I came to get hurt,
Might as well do your worst to me, yeah yeah
Have you come here to get her?
Have you come to take away from me, from me, from me
Might as well do your worst to me

And it gets pretty lame
And the stations will change
And the things once in order
Now seem so strange,
Once I could tell all the hurt apart from myself
Now all I can see is the need, the need.

I came to get hurt,
Might as well do your worst to me, yeah yeah
Have you come here to get her?
Have you come to take away from me
From me, from me
Might as well do your worst to me

And maybe you needed a change,
And maybe I was in your way
Maybe some days they stay
And some things go away
And maybe I was mine, maybe you were not the same!

It's, "Have you come here to get her?" Not, "Have you come here to get hurt?"

Tried to fix the lyrics a few times, and nothing has happened. Here's the real deal:

Sometimes I wake up in the morning Sometimes I dream some more

I keep my wounds without a bandage, baby As I come stumbling through the door

To spend my nights in dislocation Talking to spirits on the floor

I think I came to find the feeling, baby Between what was mine and what was yours

And I came to get hurt, Might as well do your worst to me, yea-yeah Have you come here to get her? Have you come to take away from me, from me, from me Might as well do your worst to me

I think I'm gonna move to California (I think it's time to move) Mama, can you say a pray for me? (Say a prayer for me) I heard they don't get so low down, (All my friends get so low) I heard they never bleed, Not like we bleed

I came to get hurt, Might as well do your worst to me, yea-yeah Have you come here to get her? Have you come to take away from me, from me, from me Might as well do your worst to me

And it gets pretty lame And the stations would change And the things once in order Now seem so strange, Once I could tell all the hurt apart from myself Now all I can see is the need, The need.

I came to get hurt, Might as well do your worst to me, yea-yeah Have you come here to get her? Have you come to take away from me From me, from me Might as well do your worst to me

And maybe you needed a change, And maybe I was in your way And maybe some things they stay And some things go away Maybe I was mine, and maybe you were not the same!

You go in assuming you're going to get heartbroken, but there's always this one little voice in the back of your head saying to go back and try again, because this time will be different. And it may BE different

@cw0219 sounds a pretty good interpretation. Love can make us blind ... or tolerate what we normally would not ... ain't love grand!!
