The song "Nothing Will Be Bigger Than Us" by the band Hurts is about a relationship that has lost its spark and the struggle to face the truth and leave. The lyrics convey the emotions of a person who realizes that their heart no longer beats the same way for their partner and that they don't need them anymore. However, they find it difficult to express their decision to end the relationship because they still need a valid reason or justification. They choose to walk away to avoid confronting their true feelings. The chorus highlights the idea that despite the individual's efforts to move on and find love elsewhere, nothing can compare or be as significant as the connection they once had with their partner. The phrase "When I'm out of love, I turn and I run" suggests a pattern of avoiding emotional attachment altogether. They acknowledge that only their former partner can make things better, indicating a desire for them to fix the relationship. However, the realization is that nothing will be as powerful or significant as their bond, emphasizing the depth of their connection when they were together. Throughout the song, there is a sense of confusion and inner turmoil expressed with lines like "And I'm lost in the night, going out of my mind" and "It gets harder to love you, harder to hide what I'm feeling." The narrator acknowledges the difficulty of letting go and the internal struggle they face when they try not to think about their emotions. Overall, "Nothing Will Be Bigger Than Us" portrays the bittersweet realization that a once passionate relationship has lost its intensity. Despite the attempt to move on, the memories and connection they shared remain irreplaceable, making it challenging to find something bigger or more meaningful.
