Hurt

The lyrics describe someone looking back on a troubled relationship and wondering whether they caused its pain. They feel they gave a great deal but still failed to make things better. The repeated apology sounds sincere, yet it also carries helplessness: the speaker regrets the hurt but says they cannot fix everything. The mood shifts between self-blame, frustration, and compassion for someone who may have been let down.

“Sold my soul” suggests giving up too much of oneself in the hope of receiving something in return. “Waiting for my pay in full” extends that idea, as if the speaker expects their effort to be repaid, but the reward never comes. The phrase “somebody should’ve had your back” means that someone needed support and protection. Calling other people “demons” may express how hostile or threatening the world feels, rather than describing literal beings.

It is unclear who is speaking in some lines, or whether the words describe one relationship throughout. The speaker may be apologizing to a particular person, but also seems to question their own choices and limits. Their regret does not necessarily mean they accept all the blame: they say they tried, while recognizing that effort alone may not be enough to help someone. The song leaves open whether the relationship can be repaired.
