Hard to Love (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer feels confused because the other person doesn’t show emotions like they do. They notice a cold or indifferent attitude that makes it hard to connect. They wish for small signs of attention, like a message or a conversation, but all they get is short, empty replies. This makes them feel unsure and frustrated, wanting clarity and honesty about how the other person truly feels, because right now, the distance between their feelings doesn’t feel fair or natural.

[Chorus]
The singer struggles with the other person’s lukewarm feelings, which never satisfy their need for closeness. They feel a mix of understanding and confusion, as if love should feel more alive. They dream of connection, warmth, and passion, but reality falls short, making love feel complicated and emotionally exhausting.

[Post-Chorus]
Love feels really difficult and challenging.

[Verse 2]
The two people in the relationship have very different ways of expressing themselves. Even simple things, like asking for a call, take a long time to respond. The other person avoids sudden actions, which creates a big gap in emotional temperature. The singer sometimes feels frustrated, wondering if they care more than the other person. Yet moments of affection, like a sudden hug, make them feel like they are in a dream. They are left confused, still questioning what the other person truly feels, noticing that despite small signs, their emotions haven’t fully changed.

[Chorus]
The singer keeps feeling that the other person is distant and half-hearted, which doesn’t satisfy them. They want more warmth, clarity, and emotional connection. Love feels confusing and hard to navigate, like something imagined in dreams rather than fully experienced, making it feel emotionally draining.

[Post-Chorus]
Being in this kind of love is very challenging and exhausting.

[Bridge]
The singer sees their relationship as far from ideal or romantic. They want honesty and real emotional openness. If the other person keeps being distant or unexpressive, they may consider leaving. They are asking the partner to show feelings clearly and consistently so the connection can feel real and secure.

[Chorus]
The singer questions themselves and the other person, wondering if they are the only one wanting more connection. The lukewarm feelings they receive aren’t enough, leaving them craving warmth and clarity. They dream of a more real, vibrant love, but right now, it feels complicated, confusing, and emotionally difficult.

[Outro]
The singer repeats how emotionally tough this love is. Even with moments of connection, being with someone distant and unclear makes loving them feel exhausting and almost impossible, highlighting the struggle and frustration of their relationship.
