Friend, Don’t Hurt Me — Lyrics by K.A. Hill’McPherson

“Friend, Don’t Hurt Me” There are people we expect might hurt us — strangers, enemies, people who were never really on our side. Friends are different. We let them closer. We tell them the things we don’t tell everyone else. We trust them with the soft parts and assume they’ll understand that knowing where someone is vulnerable isn’t an invitation to touch the bruise. “Friend, Don’t Hurt Me” came from that simple thought — friendship should be one of the places where we don’t have to keep our guard up. But people disappoint each other. Sometimes intentionally. Sometimes carelessly. And sometimes the person who hurts you has absolutely no idea how deeply they did it. That may be the hardest part. This song isn’t really about anger. It’s about asking someone you care about to remember why you let them close in the first place. Friend — don’t hurt me. Because if it came from anyone else, maybe it wouldn’t hurt quite so much. Lyrics written by K.A. Hill’McPherson. © 2026 K.A. Hill’McPherson.
