Hard to Love Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer is trying to understand their partner’s feelings but finds them hard to read. Their partner is distant and not expressive, unlike the singer, who wants more connection.

This makes the singer feel unsure about the relationship and they are asking their partner to be more open about their emotions.

Loving this person is really difficult.
