Hurts are a British synthpop duo formed in 2009, consisting of singer Theo Hutchcraft (born 30 August 1986 in Richmond) and synthesist Adam Anderson (born 14 May 1984 in Manchester). Their debut album, Happiness, which was released in September 2010, has reached the Top 10 in 12 European countries and has sold over 1 million copies worldwide. The band have also sold more than 1 million singles worldwide.
Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson met outside the 42nd Street nightclub in Manchester in November 2005, whilst their friends got involved in a fight. Too drunk to join in, they got talking about music instead, and realising they had similar tastes, decided to start a hi-NRG electropop band. Over the next few months they exchanged music and lyrics via e-mail, before forming Bureau in March 2006 with Jamie Alsop and Flick Ward. They performed their first gig as a quintet in May at The Music Box in Manchester, and were shortly afterwards signed to independent record label High Voltage Sounds. They released their first double A-side single "After Midnight" / "Dollhouse" in November, which was made Single of the Week on Xfm.
Hurts
I know, I’m not making this easy on you
I know, you gotta deal with yourself somehow
Often times I curse the day that I met you
Giving me so much that I cant have
I’m entitled to act selfish today
Cos I’ve given it all away
Chrs:
And it hurts to know that I’m not on your mind
And it hurts to know that I’m not worth your time
And it hurts to know that I’m not what you need
Cos I gave it all I had, to you
Now I return to to the Abyss that I came from
Though its dark and cold in here, I’m still me
And atleast I know what’s coming my way
Be it good or bad, it’s a better chance
