Hard To Say
Cord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause it has always been so hard explaining what I felt
To anyone but me
I found someone who cares
I found someone who understands the things that I don't share
When everyone's around
Cause it's how it should be
Oh it's how it should be
Oh it's how it should be now
When you turn me upside down
And I don't give a damn
Cause I never thought it was possible to understand
The meaning past my mind
And I won't let it roam
Cause I can only contradict the things that I don't own
When everyone's around
Cause everything you wanted to hear, it's so hard to say
It's so hard to say
And I would never judge from you here, cause that's so unfair
Cause that's so unfair
The lyrics of "Hard To Say" by Cord describe the struggle of explaining one's emotions to others. The singer admits to finding it difficult to share their feelings with anyone but themselves. However, they have found someone who cares and understands them, and this person turns their world upside down. The singer no longer cares about others' judgments, as they have found someone who understands them beyond the surface level. The meaning of the emotions goes beyond the singer's mind, and they don't want to let it roam because of their fear of contradicting themselves in front of others. The lyrics end with the singer acknowledging that the words they want to say are hard to come by, and they don't want to judge or be judged by others based on them.
The song is relatable, as many people find it hard to explain their feelings or hold back their words because they fear being judged. It acknowledges the struggle that people go through, and also highlights the importance of finding someone who understands. The singer's vulnerable lyrics resonates with the listener and leaves them with the understanding that emotional connections are essential.
