Hard On Me
Gorgon City Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I can't drink for love with you
If I can't recognize the truth
I watch you as you rest
I'm so confused

'Cause I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty
And I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty

[?]
And your smile as you're fast asleep
My fears tell me to go
But as you're whispering in my ears [?]
So I don't

I pray that what you give me is real
I hate that it's the way I feel
But nothing seems to care for me to see

But I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty
And I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty

Oh please darling don't use me
Please darling don't use me
Oh please darling don't use me

So I don't know how I can take it
And I don't know how I can make it
And I don't know how I can take it
And I don't know how I can make it

Please darling don't
Please darling don't

Line by Line Meaning

Face down on my chest
Lying in bed with my face resting on my chest

Wake up and you are there
Waking up next to you, realizing you are still here

Your touch takes my tears
Feeling comforted by your touch, it brings tears to my eyes

But I'm lying here wondering if you are sincere
Questioning whether your love and affection is genuine

I pray that what you give me is real
Hoping that the love and kindness you show me is authentic

I hate that it's the way I feel
Feeling frustrated and upset that my emotions are out of my control

Nothing seems to care for me to see
Noticing that there are no clear signs showing me whether your love is sincere

And I can't drink for love with you
I cannot keep drinking in your love if it's not real

If I can't recognize the truth
If I can't see that your love is genuine

I watch you as you rest
Watching you sleep beside me

I'm so confused
Feeling lost and uncertain about our relationship

'Cause I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
I don't want to be taken advantage of, it's too emotionally taxing for me

And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty
The only thing I can do is be honest with you about my feelings

Unknown lyric

And your smile as you're fast asleep
Seeing your serene and peaceful expression while you sleep

My fears tell me to go
Feeling scared and uncertain about staying with you

But as you're whispering in my ears [?]
Hearing your gentle voice whispering to me, calling me back

So I don't
Deciding to stay with you, despite my fears

Oh please darling don't use me
Pleading with you to not take advantage of my emotions

So I don't know how I can take it
Feeling unsure if I can handle this emotional turmoil

And I don't know how I can make it
Feeling uncertain about whether I can keep going like this

Please darling don't
Asking you to not hurt me with insincere love

Face down on my chest
Wake up and you are there
Your touch takes my tears
But I'm lying here wondering if you are sincere

I pray that what you give me is real
I hate that it's the way I feel
Nothing seems too clear for me to see

And I can't dream for love with you
If I can't recognize the truth
I watch you as you rest
I'm so confused

'Cause I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty
And I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty

Brush your hair off your cheeks
And your smile as you're fast asleep
My fears tell me to go
But as you're whispering in my ears that I soothe
So I don't

I pray that what you give me is real
I hate that it's the way I feel
Nothing seems too clear for me to see

But I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty
And I don't wanna be used darling it's too hard on me
And I don't know what to do darling but choose honesty

Oh please darling don't use me
Please darling don't use me
Oh please darling don't use me

So I don't know how I can take it
And I don't know how I can make it
And I don't know how I can take it
And I don't know how I can make it

Please darling don't
Please darling don't
