Hard to Say
Navigating Love's Complexities: Nahlij Corbin's 'Hard to Say' Reflections
Lyrics
It was lost in a fantasy
The situation was lost in a fantasy, possibly a distorted or idealized perception.
You held a certain animosity
There was a certain hostility or resentment held by someone.
But you withheld it right in front of me
Despite the animosity, it was kept hidden in front of the speaker.
Didn't have to do it now
There was no obligation to act at that moment.
But it wasn't for me
Whatever happened wasn't done for the speaker.
It was so you didn't
Actions were taken to prevent physical harm or confrontation.
Beat the shit out of me
The speaker avoided a physical altercation.
You know I've always tried to be there
The speaker has consistently tried to be present and supportive.
All the time
The speaker strives to be there all the time.
And when I can't go it's hard to let you know
When the speaker can't be there, it's difficult to express the connection.
That you're mine
Asserting ownership or a close relationship with the person being addressed.
I do declare this year in the world
Expressing a declaration about the unfairness of the world in the current year.
Ain't so fair
Describing the world as not being fair in the current year.
It's hard to say when it stops
It's challenging to determine when a negative situation comes to an end.
But really no one cared
Indicating a lack of concern from others about the difficult situation.
I feel so stupid when you yell at me
Feeling foolish or regretful when confronted with anger.
Try to do right by you
Attempting to do the right thing, but not receiving acknowledgment.
But then you discredit me
Being discredited despite efforts to do right.
But you're more happy now
The person is happier now based on what they're communicating.
From what your telling me
Implying a change in circumstances communicated by the person.
Never wanted to hurt you babe
Expressing a lack of intention to harm the addressed person.
But you're expelling me
The person is pushing the speaker away.
But you're expelling me
Reiteration of being pushed away.
You know I've always tried to be there
The speaker has consistently tried to be there.
All the time
Continued commitment to being there all the time.
And when I can't go it's hard to let you know
Expressing difficulty in conveying the connection when physically absent.
That you're mine
Reiterating ownership or a close relationship with the person being addressed.
I do declare this year in the world
Expressing a declaration about the unfairness of the world in the current year.
Ain't so fair
Describing the world as not being fair in the current year.
