Harder Than You Know
Escape the Fate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said this could only get better
There's no rush, 'cause we have each other
You said this would last forever
But now I doubt if I was your only lover

Are we just lost in time?
I wonder if your love's the same
'Cause I'm not over you

Baby, don't talk to me
I'm trying to let go
Not loving you is harder than you know
'Cause girl your driving me so crazy

How can I miss you if you never would stay?
If you need time I guess I'll go away
Inside me now there's only heartache and pain!
So where's the fire?
You've begun the rain

Are we just lost in time?
I wonder if your love's the same
'Cause I'm not over you!

Baby, don't talk to me
I'm trying to let go
Not loving you is harder than you know
('Cause girl your driving me so crazy)

And if you don't want me then
I guess I'll have to go!
Not loving you is harder than you know

Yeah!

So I'll make the call
And I'll leave you today
I'm gona miss you 'cause I love you baby
Yeah, I'll make the call
I'm leaving today

Leaving always drives me crazy!
Leaving always drives me crazy!

Baby, don't talk to me
I'm trying to let go
Not loving you is harder
Than you know

Yeah

Baby, don't talk to me
I'm trying to let go (I'm trying to let go)
Not loving you is harder
Than you know
('Cause girl your driving me so crazy)

And if you don't want me then
I guess I'll have to go! (I guess I'll have to go)
Not loving you is harder than you know
(Girl your driving me so crazy)

Baby, don't talk to me
I'm trying to let go




Not loving you is harder, than you know
Girl your driving me so crazy

You all can say what you want, but the hardest thing is loving someone, who never loved you back and you know exactly he'll never love you, but he/she ist still everything for you! </3

So weird finding old comments of yourself randomly. 10 years later i am a whole different person and life is so much more complicated than it was back then.

When you're at the worst then that means everything can just get better from where you're sitting. Love can hurt but stay strong. You aren't stupid. I was in a similar situation but I held on because of this song, actually. I know we don't know each other but I'm sending as many hugs as Youtube can hold just for you because that sucks and it seems like you need something nice. Hopefully things have started looking up already. Good luck. Stay strong. You're not alone.
