Hard To Love
BLACKPINK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't no magic tool to fix it
You should keep your distance
I'm only tellin' you because I care

'Cause I'm hard to love, find it hard to trust
When it feels too good, I just fuck it up
You want all of me, I can't give that much
So don't fall too hard 'cause I'm hard to love

(Yeah)
I'm hard to love
Yeah
(Hard to love)

Never meant to cause you a problem
Here I am yet once again with the same old story
You don't see the issues, I got 'em
Yeah, I do (yeah, I do), yeah, it's true (yeah, it's true)
I'll make it feel like heaven, but I swear I'm not a saint
And you won't see the truth 'cause I'll be kissin' it away
Yeah, I'll be all you need until I'm drivin' you insane
Baby, all I'm tryna do is save you the pain

'Cause I'm hard to love, find it hard to trust
When it feels too good, I just fuck it up
You want all of me, I can't give that much
So don't fall too hard 'cause I'm hard to love

(Yeah)
I'm hard to love
Yeah
(Hard to love)

Up 'til I'm down, I'm all in 'til I'm out
Got a lot to work out, 'til it's all behind me
You know you don't play with fire in the dark
Protect your heart
Ain't no goin' back once you start
I'm tryna be nice

(Yeah)
I'm hard to love




Yeah
(Hard to love)
