Heart's Having a Hard Time
Filmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somehow that weight would be off my chest
Last night I said what I couldn't say before
I thought we'd break up
And it wouldn't take much for me to move on and
Find someone I'm a whole lot better for
Now I'm starting to think
I hated to do what I had to do
'Cause I was afraid of hurting you
I thought I was good with goodbye
But my heart's having a hard time (hard time)
Making sense of how I'm doing what's right
Got me so tore up inside
Yeah, I know I made up my mind
But my heart, my heart's having a hard time
(My heart's having a hard time)
It shouldn't be so tough for me
To change my lock screen
But it's sinking in that I don't get to kiss that smile no more
We had a million reasons
Someone had to do the leaving
But how I thought I'd feel ain't how I'm feeling
I hated to do what I had to do
'Cause I was afraid of hurting you
I thought I was good with goodbye
But my heart's having a hard time
Making sense of how I'm doing what's right
Got me so tore up inside
Yeah, I know I made up my mind
But my heart, my heart's having a hard time
Now I'm missing you
Now I'm wishing you
And I had worked it out
If it was so wrong
Why am I still loving you now?
I hated to do what I had to do
'Cause I was afraid of hurting you
I thought I was good with goodbye
But my heart's having a hard time
Making sense of how I'm doing what's right
Got me so tore up inside
Yeah, I know I made up my mind
But my heart, my heart's having a hard time
(My heart's having a hard time)
The lyrics of Filmore's song "Heart's Having a Hard Time" showcase the complexity of dealing with a break-up. The song commences with the singer waking up after the break-up, hoping that the weight of the situation would've lifted off of his chest. He expresses feeling conflicted about the decision he made, anticipating that he would quickly move on and find someone better for himself. However, he soon realizes that moving on and continuing with life isn't as easy as he had anticipated.
The chorus of the song conveys the heart-wrenching emotions of the singer, who tries to convince himself that he made the right choice but is struggling to come to terms with it. He admits that he hates what he has done and is afraid of hurting his partner, hence the hesitation in saying goodbye. The line, "But my heart's having a hard time," captures the essence of the song's message, implying that one's mind and heart can be on different wavelengths, making the healing process significantly harder.
The final verse of the song suggests that the singer is starting to regret his decision and is filled with remorse. It's a realization that he misses his partner, wishing that they had worked things out. The song paints a picture of a person who is dealing with the aftermath of a break-up, struggling with the confusion and the mixed emotions that come with it.

Thought I'd wake up
I expected to feel better today
Somehow that weight would be off my chest
I thought my problems would magically disappear
Last night I said what I couldn't say before
I finally expressed my true feelings
I thought we'd break up
I anticipated the end of our relationship
And it wouldn't take much for me to move on and
I believed I could easily find someone else
Find someone I'm a whole lot better for
I was convinced I deserved someone better
Now I'm starting to think
I'm realizing my assumptions were wrong
It ain't that easy
Letting go is harder than I thought
I hated to do what I had to do
Breaking up was difficult for me
'Cause I was afraid of hurting you
I didn't want to cause you pain
I thought I was good with goodbye
I believed I could handle the breakup
But my heart's having a hard time (hard time)
My emotions are getting the best of me
Making sense of how I'm doing what's right
I'm struggling to understand if I made the right decision
Got me so tore up inside
I feel emotionally conflicted
Yeah, I know I made up my mind
I made a decision, but it's not easy to stick to it
But my heart, my heart's having a hard time
My heart is still attached to you
It shouldn't be so tough for me
I didn't think it would be this hard to move on
To change my lock screen
To remove photos of us from my phone
But it's sinking in that I don't get to kiss that smile no more
I'm realizing what I've lost
We had a million reasons
There were many problems in our relationship
Someone had to do the leaving
One of us had to end the relationship
But how I thought I'd feel ain't how I'm feeling
My expectations were different from reality
Now I'm missing you
I'm feeling the absence of your presence
Now I'm wishing you
I'm regretting our breakup
And I had worked it out
I wish we could have resolved our issues
If it was so wrong
If our relationship was truly flawed
Why am I still loving you now?
Why can't I move on from my feelings for you?
My heart's having a hard time
My heart is still attached to you

FILMORE (2018) – HEART´S HAVING A HARD TIME (Traducción)
Thought I'd wake up
Creí que me despertaría
Somehow that weight would be off my chest
Que de alguna manera ese peso se iría de mi pecho
Last night I said what I couldn't say before
La pasada noche dije lo que no pude decir con anterioridad
I thought we'd break up
Creí que romperíamos
And it wouldn't take much for me to move on and
Y que no me costaría mucho seguir adelante y
Find someone I'm a whole lot better for
Encontrar a alguien para quien sería mucho mejor
Now I'm starting to think
Ahora estoy empezando a pensar que
It ain't that easy
No es tan fácil
I hated to do what I had to do
Odié hacer lo que tenía que hacer
Cause I was afraid of hurting you
Porque temía herirte
I thought I was good with goodbye
Creí que estaría bien con el adiós
But my heart's having a hard time (hard time)
Pero mi corazón está pasándolo mal (pasándolo mal)
Making sense of how I'm doing what's right
Encontrándole el sentido a como haciendo lo correcto
Got me so tore up inside
Esto me tiene tan destrozado
Yeah, I know I made up my mind
Sí, sé que tomé una decisión
But my heart, my heart's having a hard time
Pero mi corazón, mi corazón está pasándolo mal
It shouldn't be so tough for me
No debería ser tan duro para mí
To change my lock screen, but it's sinking in that I don't get to kiss that smile no more
Cambiar mi pantalla de bloqueo, pero estoy asimilando que ya no tengo oportunidad de besar esa sonrisa
We had a million reasons
Teníamos un millón de motivos
Someone had to do the leaving, but how I thought I'd feel ain't how I'm feeling
Alguien tenía que marcharse, pero no creí que me sentiría como me estoy sintiendo
I hated to do what I had to do
Odié hacer lo que tenía que hacer
Cause I was afraid of hurting you
Porque temía herirte
I thought I was good with goodbye
Creí que estaría bien con el adiós
But my heart's having a hard time (hard time)
Pero mi corazón está pasándolo mal (pasándolo mal)
Making sense of how I'm doing what's right
Encontrándole el sentido a como haciendo lo correcto
Got me so tore up inside
Esto me tiene tan destrozado
Yeah, I know I made up my mind
Sí, sé que tomé una decisión
But my heart, my heart's having a hard time
Pero mi corazón, mi corazón está pasándolo mal
Now I'm missing you
Ahora te extraño
Now I'm wishing you
Ahora te deseo
And I had worked it out
Y lo he comprendido
If it was so wrong
Si lo nuestro estaba tan mal
Why am I still loving you now?
¿Por qué sigo amándote ahora?
I hated to do what I had to do
Odié hacer lo que tenía que hacer
Cause I was afraid of hurting you
Porque temía herirte
I thought I was good with goodbye
Creí que estaría bien con el adiós
But my heart's having a hard time (hard time)
Pero mi corazón está pasándolo mal (pasándolo mal)
Making sense of how I'm doing what's right
Encontrándole el sentido a como haciendo lo correcto
Got me so tore up inside
Esto me tiene tan destrozado
Yeah, I know I made up my mind
Sí, sé que tomé una decisión
But my heart, my heart's having a hard time
Pero mi corazón, mi corazón está pasándolo mal
(My heart's having a hard time)
(Mi corazón lo está pasando mal)

The first time I've ever heard your music was at Walker Hayes's tour this year, and that definitely won't be the last. You're awesome man, and this song is so relatable it's addicting
@danielleburke5646
This is a banger Tyler!!!! You very much express your heart in your lyrics and bring us on your journey. These songs (yep been following your career for years now and seen you I think 6-7 times..ish lol).... a very lucky girl with an unfortunate outcome. Your heart is booming as your vocals xo
@caleybranch9649
I imagine this as a music video everytime. I see the leaving at the start, then she fades out of pictures and things dissapear. Then you try to change your lockscreen. Then you imagine how it could've went as memories. The tears are flowing all through this ofc
@JacobJones-fe1tn
Sounds great!!!! 👍🏼
@gabecameron8477
It’s been a year and a half and this song is still the best I have ever heard

Great song... 🤩
@CherryDropOfLove
I can really relate to this...this guy and I had great chemistry, we connected, we got close...but he couldn't tell the truth until it was convenient for him...it hurt so bad to cut the cord because all of the signs in my heart said to try harder, but reality said girl get your head on right...it hurt to let go, but it would have been only damaging me.
@danielleisom7289
