Hard To Hold, Easy To Lose
A hip-hop track with a prominent, driving bassline and a consistent, mid-tempo drum beat featuring a strong snare. The instrumentation includes a distorted electric guitar playing a simple, repetitive riff, and a synth providing atmospheric pads. The male lead vocalist delivers a confident, slightly aggressive rap in a baritone range. The song structure is verse-chorus, with a clear distinction between the more melodic chorus and the spoken-word verses. Production elements include a clean mix with the vocals upfront, and a subtle reverb on the snare drum. The key is minor, contributing to the track's assertive feel. The tempo is around 90-100 BPM.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Meili
You fold your arms
Like the world owes you an answer
Every word I say
Hits that armor
Drops faster
You stare right through my chest
Like you’re trying not to feel it
Say you’re fine
“it’s nothing”
But I’m standing here
I see it
Chorus
Meili
Why you so hard on me
Hard to touch
Hard to read
You pull close then you cut me deep
And act like you don’t bleed
Meili
Why you so hard to choose
Hard to hold
Easy to lose
I keep reaching
You keep slipping through
Tell me what they did to you
Verse 2
You keep your phone face down
Like the past still sending shadows
Laugh it off
Change lanes
Drive too fast through these potholes
You say love is just a game
Where the winner walks away first
But I’m here
Both feet
You just wait for the worst
Chorus
Meili
Why you so hard on me
Hard to touch
Hard to read
You pull close then you cut me deep
And act like you don’t bleed
Meili
Why you so hard to choose
Hard to hold
Easy to lose
I keep reaching
You keep slipping through
Tell me what they did to you
Bridge
If I swear I’m staying
Would you trust that phrase
If I turn this light on
Will you leave or stay
You say “love is dangerous”
I say “so is this cage”
We both scared of breaking
But we’re breaking anyway
Chorus
Meili
Why you so hard on me
Hard to touch
Hard to read
You pull close then you cut me deep
And act like you don’t bleed
Meili
Why you so hard to choose
Hard to hold
Easy to lose
I keep reaching
You keep slipping through
Still I’m holding on to you
