Shy Carter – Hard Lyrics

Verse 1
Mmm-hmmm
I could call you a taxi
We could just call it quits
We could just throw our hands
In the air act like we don’t care
Say it is what it is.

Say I can forgive you
And I never will.
Or we could let another sun come up
On our love
And see what time might heal.

Chorus
It’s gonna be hard on my heart
It’s gonna be hard on my pride
It’s gonna be hard on my days
Even hard on my nights
It’s gonna be hard to let you go
Hard not having you around
It’s gonna be harder
Harder than we know
If we take the easy way out.

Verse 2
Goodbye’s on the table
Just one word away
Devil says it’ll set us free
But the truth is, baby,
It’s a hell of a price to pay.

Just give me one more hour
Then maybe just one more.
Come on, baby, what ya say
We lose this battle
So we can win this war.

Chorus
Cause it’s gonna be hard on my heart
It’s gonna be hard on my pride
It’s gonna be hard on my days
Even hard on my nights
It’s gonna be hard to let you go
Hard not having you around
It’s gonna be harder
Harder than we know
If we take the easy way out, Girl
Please..

Chorus
It’s gonna be hard on my heart
It’s gonna be hard on my pride
So can we please try a little bit harder
While we’re still here tonight
It’s gonna be hard to let you go
Hard not having you around
It’s gonna be harder
Harder than we know
If we take the easy way out. (ooohh)
If we take the easy way out, Girl
If we take the easy way out.


Song Meaning & Review

I love how this song showcases the singer’s willingness to fix things between him and his lover. Most people nowadays would just give up in a hard situation right then and there, not realizing how much worse things could be without that someone who had stayed with you for so long. Most people would just let go because of their pride. I’m touched at how much he wants to try and fix things and not just think about letting go, period.
