Couldn’t Make It Any Harder – Sabrina Carpenter

Couldn’t Make It Any Harder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, what I’d give to be
Meeting you as the glass-half-full version of me
I was easier than I am now
Would’ve folded, but I can’t now
Heard they say this emotion should be kind

[Chorus]
But I couldn’t make it
Any harder to love me
Your arms are reachin’
And your eager heart is throbbing
I know you’re frustrated
‘Cause I will not let you touch me
You say you can take it
But you don’t know how hard I can make it

[Verse 2]
Fuckboys you’ll never meet
Well, you can thank them for why I’m so goddamn reactionary
And for the graveyard in my stomach
Filled with pivotal formative comments
Meanwhile, you’re just tryna tell me I look nice (Ooh)

[Bridge]
(Ah)
Oh no
Oh

[Outro]
I couldn’t make it
Any harder to love me
Oh, one day, believe me
You’ll want someone that makes it easyv
