It's Hard for Me to Say
Emotions Unspoken: Diana Ross' Struggle to Express Love
Lyrics
Didn't know 'til today
Realization of not knowing until today.
That you would love for me to say
Acknowledgment of the desire for verbal affirmation of love.
All of things I feel
Expression of deep emotions.
Though you don't doubt they're real
Assurance that emotions are genuine.
Insecure, very shy
Admitting to feeling insecure and shy.
Are the only reasons I have why
Attributing shyness as a reason for not expressing feelings.
I never say the things that you would love to hear
Acknowledging difficulty in verbalizing desired sentiments.
All the words I try
Struggling to find the right words.
Disappoint me and I cry
Feeling disappointed when attempts to express love fall short.
So they're words I don't always say, but
Acknowledging a difficulty in vocalizing love.
It's in my love, it's in my feeling
Love and feelings are embedded within.
It's in the very same heart that loved you from the start
Affirmation of consistent love from the beginning.
It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
Love is intense and spirited.
And it's got me totally high
Feeling emotionally elevated.
It's just hard for me to say why
Expressing difficulty in explaining why.
Kinda sad, kinda blue
Conveying a sense of sadness and melancholy.
Because I wanted to tell you
Desire to communicate deep feelings.
That you were in my heart
Acknowledging someone's presence in the heart despite physical distance.
Though we were far apart
Distance making it challenging to express emotions.
Didn't know how to say
Admitting difficulty in expressing love verbally.
All the little things to make you stay
Not knowing how to communicate the small things that matter.
And not to keep assuming
Caution against assuming understanding without communication.
You could read my mind
Recognition of the challenge of mind reading.
You're the one I love
Affirming love for the person.
Though it's hard for you to know
Acknowledging the challenge for the loved one to perceive love.
'Cause the words I don't always say, but
Reiterating the difficulty in verbal expression.
It's in my love, it's in my feeling
Love and feelings are intrinsic.
It's in the very same heart that loved you from the start
Consistent love from the beginning.
It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
Intensity and spirit of love.
And it's got me totally high
Feeling emotionally elevated and intense.
It's just hard for me to say why
Expressing difficulty in explaining why.
