So Hard to Get By
Navigating Heartache: Unraveling the Emotions in Alan Garrity's 'So Hard to Get By'
Lyrics
I stayed at home when you were straying
I chose to stay faithful while you were unfaithful
And now it looks, my friend, as if you're paying
Now, it appears that you are facing consequences
We had a beautiful dream
We had a beautiful dream together
But you wouldn't listen
You refused to heed or understand
No, you wouldn't listen
Emphasizing your unwillingness to listen
And now it's so hard, so hard to get by
Currently, life is extremely challenging
You know its so hard, so hard to get by
Reiterating the difficulty in overcoming challenges
But it's very easy
Contrasting with the challenges, it's effortless to cry
To start to cry
Highlighting the emotional pain and vulnerability
Many is the night you've found me crying
Expressing the recurring emotional distress at night
But still you wouldn't stop all of your lying
Despite the tears, you continue to deceive
We had a beautiful dream
Recalling the shattered dream shared together
Girl, where have you gone
Questioning the absence of the person in the dream
Where have you been?
Asking about the whereabouts of the person
'Cause now it's so hard, so hard to get by
Repeating the theme of life being challenging
You know it's so hard, so hard to get by
Reiterating the difficulty in coping with life's challenges
But it's very easy
Re-emphasizing the ease of shedding tears
To start to cry
Underlining the emotional response to hardships
Yes, now it's so hard, so hard to get by
Repeating the idea of the current difficulty in life
You know it's so hard, so hard to get by
Reiterating the ongoing struggle to endure
But it's very easy
Restating the simplicity of succumbing to tears
To start to cry
Stressing the emotional vulnerability and sorrow
