“You Always Hurt The One You Love” is one of the saddest songs ever created. With its lyrics saying
“You always hurt the one you love, the one you shouldn’t hurt at all,”
“You always break the kindest heart with a hasty word you can’t recall.”
Indeed, it is painful. Despite the words and lyrics, the song is still relaxing as it gives a mellow sound. Perhaps, you’ll forget what the song means if you focus on the soothing voices of Willie Nelson and Brenda Lee.
The Song…
Allan Roberts and Doris Fischer are the people behind the words and lyrics of “You Always Hurt The One You Love.” It has been recorded by various artists over the years including Moon Mullican with Cliff Bruner, The Mills Brothers, and Connie Francis. In country music, most notable versions were from Willie Nelson and Brenda Lee.
The Lyrics…
You always hurt the one you love, the one you shouldn’t hurt at all
Always take the sweetest rose and crash it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart with a hasty word you can’t recall
So if I broke your heart last night it’s because I love you most of all
And you always break the kindest heart…
