Composition
Hard to Quit is an acoustic, ballad-esque song that consists solely of piano and vocals. The song is written in the key of B Major at a tempo of 115 beats per minute, and lasts for 4 minutes and 5 seconds. The song follows the chord progression of B-F#-E-d#m-B-g#m-d#m-c#m. The song is about having an addiction that you can't leave, even though you know it is taking over your life.

Lyrics
I’ve been a quitter most of my life

But there’s something different about you

I don't know why it feels like I can't leave

It feels like that's the way it has to be

It’s my life

But you’re taking control

I don’t know what draws me in

But you’re so hard to quit

All of the shame and judgment

And I still can’t drop it

I’m tired of feeing like I need you

But that’s the point that this is getting to

It’s my life

But you’re taking control

I don’t know what draws me in

But you’re so hard to quit

All of the shame and judgment

And I still can’t drop it

My life would be better without you

But I’m too blind to realize

I keep saying I know what to do

But that is just another lie

I don’t know what draws me in

But you’re so hard to quit

I guess I am addicted to you

Why must I be addicted to you
