Dive into the gritty emotional landscape of “Hard to Hold” — a 90s-inspired alt-rock ballad laced with raw vocals, aching honesty, and a thunderous soundscape.

This song captures the turmoil of a love that was too fragile to survive, sung from the heart of someone who’s beautifully damaged and deeply aware of their flaws. Gritty guitars, crashing drums, and haunting lyrics make this a modern rock confession about being “too much to fix, but too real to forget.”

🎧 Lyrics:

I’m not the fire you thought I’d be
Some days I burn, some nights I freeze
I’ve got a heart that won’t sit still
And a voice that shakes when I try to heal
You reached for me with hands too sure
But I was more than you came for
I wear my hurt like second skin
I don’t break out—I cave in

You called it love, I called it war
But we kept coming back for more

I’m hard to hold, too loud to tame
You want the thunder, not the rain
I push away just to feel close
Pull the thread, then let it go
You try to fix what you can’t see
But baby, that was never me
I’m not the safe, I’m not the gold—
I’m just hard to hold

You said I’m cold when I get quiet
But you never stayed through the riot
You loved the parts that made you shine
But hated all the mess in mine
I’m not your echo, not your cure
Not someone sweet you can assure
I’m rust and flame and wired wrong
And I’ve been fighting all along

You called it fate, I called it flight
We lost the truth while chasing light

I’m hard to hold, too loud to tame
You want the thunder, not the rain
I push away just to feel close
Pull the thread, then let it go
You try to fix what you can’t see
But baby, that was never me
I’m not the safe, I’m not the gold—
I’m just hard to hold

Maybe love was just too kind
For a broken thing like mine
You meant well, but truth be told—
Some hearts were never meant to mold

I’m hard to hold, I won’t pretend
I fight the start, I fear the end
I twist the truth just to survive
But I’m still here, I’m still alive
You gave your all, but I won't fold
Not even now, not even cold
So don’t reach out, just let me go—
I'm just hard to hold
