"Love Me Hard" by Paul Kim captures a push-pull romance where affection feels like a gamble, caught between longing and fear. The repeated question about what holds him back mirrors the lover's hesitation, while the image of a heart on a sleeve too scared to touch suggests vulnerability offered but never fully received. He craves intensity, asking to be loved hard, yet senses that modern love rarely risks that depth. The song yearns for a connection bold enough to break through guarded walls.
Love Me Hard Lyrics by Paul Kim
Love me hard, hard
Caught in your eyes, words that never come out
You talk, but I don’t hear a sound
Hide and I seek, either gonna win or break
Throw the dice
Baby, you become toxic
It’s hard to believe
I’m lost inside of your maze, amazing
If that’s the chance I will take it
if you’re gonna push back, put your heart in it
I don’t fall in love, I just drown in it
And you don’t think that it can run in your blood
Give you my heart, but it’s just never enough
‘Cause no one ever loves hard these days
Heart on my sleeve that you’re just too scared to touch
‘Cause no one ever loves hard these days
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
Running out of patience, need
Eye contact, skin’s attached
Yeah, I wanna take it far
Dreaming high, crazy night
Is it love, is it play?
You got me curious
I’m a hopeless romantic, ain’t it obvious?
Make me feel something, babe
if you’re gonna push back, put your heart in it
I don’t fall in love, I just drown in it
And you don’t think that it can run in your blood
Give you my heart, but it’s just never enough
‘Cause no one ever loves hard these days
Heart on my sleeve that you’re just too scared to touch
‘Cause no one ever loves hard these days
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
What keeps holding me back?
Love me hard, hard
