I Rather Hurt Myself | Original Soulful R&B Blues | Grown Folk Guitar & Vocals

I Rather Hurt Myself is an original soulful R&B/blues track filled with raw emotion, deep devotion, and grown‑folk storytelling. This song tells the intimate story of a man who would rather carry all the pain himself than see the woman he loves suffer.

LYRICS:

Baby, I can feel the distance in your eyes
Every little word, every little sigh
I don’t wanna see you cry, don’t wanna hear you say goodbye
I’d rather take the hurt myself just to keep you by my side

I’d rather hurt myself than see you go
Carry all the heartache, let it flow
If love’s a storm, I’ll stand in the rain
Baby, I’d rather hurt myself than watch you in pain

Every tear you shed, cuts right through my soul
I’d trade my pride, give up control
If the world turns dark, I’ll be your light
I’ll take the blows, baby, I’ll fight your fight

I’d rather hurt myself than see you go
Carry all the heartache, let it flow
If love’s a storm, I’ll stand in the rain
Baby, I’d rather hurt myself than watch you in pain

Don’t let pride stand in the way of love
I’ll give my all, I’ll rise above
Hold me close, let me bear the pain
Baby, I’d rather hurt myself than see you hurt again

I’d rather hurt myself than see you go
Carry all the heartache, let it flow
If love’s a storm, I’ll stand in the rain
Baby, I’d rather hurt myself than watch you in pain

Take my pain, baby, let me carry it all
I’d rather fall a thousand times than watch you fall
I’d rather hurt myself, yes I would
Just to love you, just like I should
