The song is about the pain of a breakup and lingering feelings for an ex-partner. The singer is still haunted by the relationship and says hearing their ex's name is like "burning on my lips." They go back and forth between wishing they never met their ex and not actually regretting the relationship. The chorus repeats the line "Your name hurts" to emphasize that the ex still has power to cause them pain, even after the breakup.

Filled me with ecstasy, left with the best of me But where's the rest of me now?
Honestly, I don't regret you
I just wish I never met you Part of me wants to upset you, ah-ah Every single letter's killing me Don't know why it always gets to me Every time I hear that sound (Ah)
Your name hurts (Your name hurts)
I don't say it no more It's like the worst of words (Worst of words) You don't even know (Ah) Feels like burning on my lips The ones that you used to kiss No way you ain't feelin' it too I hope my name hurts, my name hurts My name hurts you (You, you, you)
And this half-written story is horror at best
The kind where the hero still dies in the end And God only knows, maybe this is a test 'Cause I kinda wanna mess you up But I won't, babe, not yet
Wouldn't say that I regret you
But man, I wish I never met you That your mama never even had you, oh-ah Every single letter's killing me Don't know why it always gets to me Every time I hear that sound (Ah)
Your name hurts (Your name hurts)
I don't say it no more It's like the worst of words (Worst of words) You don't even know (Ah) Feels like burning on my lips The ones that you used to kiss No way you ain't feelin' it too I hope my name hurts, my name hurts My name hurts you (You, you, you)
Your name hurts
(Na, na, na, na, na) (Na, na, na, na, na) (Na, na, na, na, na) Your name hurts
Honestly, I don't regret you
I just wish I never met you Part of me wants to upset you, ah-ah (Your name hurts) Every single letter's killing me Don't know why it always gets to me Every time I hear that sound (Ah)
Your name hurts
I don't say it no more It's like the worst of words You don't even know Feels like burning on my lips The ones that you used to kiss No way you ain't feelin' it too I hope my name hurts, my name hurts My name hurts you (You, you, you)
