I'm not here to apologize Don't give me that look in your eyes There's nothin worse than a man Who thinks he knows I'll tell you the honest truth I'm not scared to like in my youth Now that we both know Exactly what we chose Oh, this is hard love Oh, this is hard love We don't mean to be As mean as we all are But love is hard These worries inside my head They're louder than what you said And I can't find A window or a door I try calling out to you But they're yelling inside you, too So it's hard to say What all our talk is for Oh, this is hard love Oh, this is hard love We don't mean to be As mean as we all are But love is hard Have I done nothing right? Lying here every night Tryin to be good to you You know I do my best I lift up my tiny voice It seems like the only choice Trying to sing above The roarin of loneliness Oh, this is hard love Oh, this is hard love We don't mean to be As mean as we all are But love is hard
