Love Wasn't Supposed to Hurt This Much

“I thought love meant losing myself. I thought pain was proof I cared.”

Under My Skin is a deeply emotional soul ballad about mistaking pain for love—and finally realizing that real love never asks you to bleed to be worthy of it.

Inspired by classic 1950s soul, this song tells the story of obsession, self-loss, and the quiet strength of the love that stays: family, friends, and the love we almost don’t let in.

This is a song for anyone who loved too hard, waited too long, and confused devotion with suffering.

🎧 Listen with headphones for the full emotional experience. 🖤 If this song resonates with you, like, comment, and subscribe for more soul-inspired music.
