Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm just thinkin' about the child in me
That I'm sometimes feeling inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small
Is it you that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night?
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out?
[Verse 2]
Did I really ask too much of you, baby?
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?
Do you mean to say
[Verse 3]
It's all so hard, it's so hard?
It's all so hard, it's so hard
[Verse 4]
As I search for an answer, see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naive when you say that our love
To you was just a game
I dream, I dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
[Verse 5]
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?
Do you mean to say
[Verse 6]
It's all so hard, it's so hard?
It's all so hard, it's so hard
Damn, it's so hard, why you're so hard?
Why you're so hard? Tearin' me apart, yeah
[Verse 7]
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?
Do you mean to say, yeah
[Verse 8]
It's all so hard, yeah, you're so hard?
Why you're so hard? Tearin' me apart, yeah
It's all so hard, it's all so hard, it's all so hard
It's all so hard, tearin' me apart
[Verse 9]
So hard, so hard, so hard
So hard, so hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard
So hard
