The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Hard" by the artist "Why Don't We"

Contents

In Why Don't We's song "Hard," the lyrical protagonist details the pain of unrequited love and the struggle of being the "second choice" for the girl he's in love with.

He's constantly there for her, comforting her when her relationship with another guy falls apart, but she always ends up going back to the one who hurts her.

The protagonist admits that it's hard for him to watch this cycle because he has strong feelings for her but is forced to hide them and play the role of a friend. He compares his experience to acting, saying he deserves an "Oscar" for how well he masks his love.

The line "Hard to sing along to love songs" emphasizes his heartache and inability to share in the joy of love because he's unhappy in his own love life.

The song highlights a vicious cycle: the girl keeps going back to her ex-boyfriend despite the pain he causes her. The lyrical hero, in turn, can't break free from this cycle because he loves her and is willing to be there for her no matter what.

[Intro: Jonah Marais]

It's hard to act like I don't think about you sometimes

I should win an Oscar

[Verse 1: Jack Avery]

It was my birthday, right at the end of the night

It was the first time, he hurt you bad and you cried

Right in my arms, fell to a million pieces

Held you together, girl, I know all your secrets

[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey]

Do you know how hard it is to, be the one to fix you?

And all you do is:

Run back to the one who breaks your heart

You're makin' this too hard

[Chorus: Zach Herron, Jack Avery, All]

I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

I said I'll be there to the end but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

You keep runnin' back to him, I know it's hard

Hard, it's just too hard

I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]

It's hard to sing along to songs

That people sing when they're happy

I should win a Grammy

[Verse 2: Jonah Marais]

You block his number, and then you call me instead

You give him distance, and then you sleep in my bed

You say you miss him, and you go crawlin' back

That's my mission, it's to be here when you're sad

[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey]

Do you know how hard it is to, be the one to fix you?

And all you do is:

Run back to the one who breaks your heart

You're makin' this too hard

[Chorus: Zach Herron, Jack Avery, All]

I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

I said I'll be there to the end but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

You keep runnin' back to him, I know it's hard

Hard, it's just too hard

I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

[Bridge: Corbyn Besson]

All this daytime drama makes me feel so alive

So good at fakin', I should win an Emmy

[Chorus: Zach Herron, Jack Avery, All]

I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

I said I'll be there to the end but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

You keep runnin' back to him, I know it's hard

Hard, it's just too hard

I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard

Hard, it's just too hard

[Outro: Zach Herron]

Hard, it's just too hard

Hard, it's just too hard
