Lagu "Hard" oleh Nelly Furtado mengungkapkan realisasi pahit bahwa hubungan yang lama telah berakhir. Narator mengakui kehadiran mantan kekasih yang masih menghantui pikirannya, tetapi menyadari bahwa sudah waktunya untuk mengungkap kebenaran yang menyakitkan. Lagu ini berulang kali menegaskan "Cold hard truth" (Kebenaran yang pahit) bahwa narator dapat menjalani hidup tanpa pasangan mereka, dan bahwa mereka ditakdirkan untuk menyendiri. Meskipun sulit, pengakuan ini membebaskan narator, memungkinkan mereka untuk lepas dari masa lalu dan menemukan kekuatan dalam kesendirian.
Cold Hard Truth Lyrics
Nelly Furtado
It's been a long time coming, coming, coming
Feeling your presence hovering, hovering, hovering
Time that I finally say something, something, something
You're not gonna take this one lie down
But the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth I've been waiting, I'm waiting
And as I fly away, you fly your life away
'Cause you and I were meant, we were meant to be alone, alone, alone
We were meant to be alone, alone, laying low
It's been a long time honey, honey, honey
You shouldn't laugh, it's not funny, funny, funny
After I'm done I feel nothing, nothing, nothing
Although I feel naked, certain, certain, babe
And as I fly away, you fly your life away
'Cause you and I were meant, we were meant to be alone, alone, alone
We were meant to be alone
But the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is I've waited too long
And the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is I've waited forever
And as I fly away, you fly your life away
'Cause you and I were meant, we were meant...
But the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is I've waited forever
And the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is... we were meant to be alone
We were meant to be alone, alone laying low
We were meant to be alone, alone, alone
We were meant to be alone, alone, laying low
Feeling your presence hovering, hovering, hovering
Time that I finally say something, something, something
You're not gonna take this one lie down
But the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth I've been waiting, I'm waiting
And as I fly away, you fly your life away
'Cause you and I were meant, we were meant to be alone, alone, alone
We were meant to be alone, alone, laying low
It's been a long time honey, honey, honey
You shouldn't laugh, it's not funny, funny, funny
After I'm done I feel nothing, nothing, nothing
Although I feel naked, certain, certain, babe
And as I fly away, you fly your life away
'Cause you and I were meant, we were meant to be alone, alone, alone
We were meant to be alone
But the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is I've waited too long
And the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is I've waited forever
And as I fly away, you fly your life away
'Cause you and I were meant, we were meant...
But the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is I've waited forever
And the cold hard truth is I can make it without you
And the cold hard truth is... we were meant to be alone
We were meant to be alone, alone laying low
We were meant to be alone, alone, alone
We were meant to be alone, alone, laying low
