Cover art for Taking It All Too Hard lyrics by Genesis

For the longest I thought Phil was saying either "heart" or "hard" but not both. I love that both of them fit. I can relate to this song a lil' bit b/c I was in a relationship that kept starting and stopping and starting again. It's a relief that it has stopped for good and him and I are just long distance friends. Phil's saying that he doesn't want the girl to take it too hard and not to take it to heart, or be devastated.
