Lyrics
I lie awake but I lie alone
Feeling restless while being alone and unable to sleep.
A tidal wave of emotion in this storm
Experiencing intense emotions akin to a storm.
But I can’t sleep ‘cause I don’t wanna dream
Choosing not to sleep to avoid dreaming about someone.
When I do, you’re all I see
When dreaming, the person on the singer's mind is the central focus.
I can’t take this hard love
Expressing difficulty in handling a challenging or intense form of love.
But it’s all i’ve known
Acknowledging that the described hard love is the only type the singer has experienced.
I can’t take this hard love
Reiterating the difficulty in dealing with this intense love.
But it’s harder alone
Emphasizing that being alone is even harder than facing the challenges of hard love.
The sun returns to greet my tired eyes
Welcoming a new day with tired eyes after a restless night.
And I’m settling as these thoughts of you subside
Finding peace as thoughts of the person gradually fade away.
But I’m so afraid of falling out of place
Expressing fear of losing connection or feeling out of place.
Before I return to your warm embrace
Desiring to return to the warm embrace of the person in mind.
I can’t take this hard love
Reiterating the difficulty of dealing with this intense form of love.
But it’s all i’ve known
Acknowledging that hard love is the only love the singer has known.
I can’t take this hard love
Repeating the struggle of dealing with this challenging love.
But it’s harder alone
Stating that facing the difficulties of hard love is preferable to being alone.
I can’t take this hard love
Expressing once again the challenge of dealing with hard love.
But it’s all i’ve known
Affirming that hard love is the only kind known to the singer.
I can’t take this hard love
Reiterating the difficulty in handling the intense emotions of hard love.
But it’s harder alone
Emphasizing that facing the challenges of hard love is still preferable to being alone.
This hard love
Highlighting the persistency and difficulty of the described hard love.
This hard love, hard love
Repeating the theme of enduring and struggling with hard love.
