Considering that the correct lyric is this... "Would you mind if I hurt you? Understand that I need to Wish that I had other choices than to harm the one I love What have you done now!

I know I'd better stop trying You know that there's no denying I won't show mercy on you now I know, should stop believing I know, there's no retrieving It's over now, what have you done?

What have you done now! I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done now! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done!

Would you mind if I killed you? Would you mind if I tried to? Cause you have turned into my worst enemy You carry hate that I don't feel It's over now What have you done?

What have you done now! I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done now! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done!

What have you done now, what have you done?...

I will not fall, won't let it go We will be free when it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you"

I think that the song talks about someone not wanting to hurt the one they love. He/she has no choice because the person has hurt them for the last time. They will not show mercy on them because it is for their own good. The person then hates the lover for rejecting them, but the lover doesn't hate them. They are meant for each other but they can't be together when there are problems like this in a relationship.
