The song "Make It Hard To Love You" by Becky Hill explores the struggles of loving someone who is emotionally closed off due to past hurt and heartbreak. The lyrics depict a situation where the protagonist meets someone who has been through difficult times and has a broken heart. The protagonist acknowledges the person's pain and desires to help them overcome their emotional barriers. They express their support and reassurance, emphasizing that love isn't easy but they are willing to be there for them. The protagonist wants the person to know that they are never alone, but there's only so much they can do to convey their feelings. However, despite their efforts, the person continues to make it difficult for the protagonist to love them. They are not allowing the protagonist to see their true self and are keeping their emotions guarded. This frustrates the protagonist, causing them to question why the person is making it so challenging to love them. Throughout the song, the protagonist urges the person to take responsibility for their own healing and personal growth. They emphasize the importance of putting in the effort to overcome their past and work through their emotional struggles. The protagonist believes that if the person lets their guard down and allows them into their heart, they could have a deeper and more meaningful connection. Ultimately, the protagonist realizes that they can't force the person to open up and love them back. They decide to let go and move on from the situation, as it becomes too difficult to maintain a relationship with someone who refuses to open their heart. Despite their willingness to try, the person's emotional barriers prove to be too challenging. The song carries a message of love, patience, and the importance of both individuals actively being involved in the process of fostering a genuine connection. It acknowledges that love can be complicated when one person is unwilling or unable to fully let go of their past and allow themselves to truly love and be loved.
