Hard to Be You

It’s so tiring just to be near you

So close and for so long

But i wouldn’t want to be anywhere else

So don’t get me wrong

There’s a painful story you tell me

Almost every day

And there’s nothing that i can do or say

To take all of your troubles away

It’s so hard to be you

So hard to be you

You’re a battleship out in the harbor

And the planes are flying in

But you’re taking in all the commotion

Like you don’t know where to begin

There’s a certain look that you give me

And i know it’s all ok

When the smoke has cleared, it’s victory

We’ll live to fight another day

It’s so hard to be you

So hard to be you

It’s so hard to be you

So hard to be you

Every day is another war story

You sing it like a song

And i’ve heard enough to know you

Will always come out strong

But i’m tired of all the pauses

The pauses that always go too long

It’s so hard to be you

So hard to be you

It’s so hard to be you

So very hard to be you
