Lyrics for So Hard

Back when we started We didn't know how hard it was Living on nothin' But what the wind would bring to us? Now we've got somethin' I can imagine fightin' for So why is fightin' All that we're good at anymore? And sometimes I don't have the energy To prove everybody wrong And I try my best to be strong But you know it's so hard, so hard It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard when it doesn't come fast It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard It felt like a given Something a woman's born to do A natural ambition To see a reflection of me and you And I'd feel so guilty If that was a gift I couldn't give Could you be happy If life wasn't how we pictured it? And sometimes I just want to wait it out To prove everybody wrong And I need your help to move on 'Cause you know it's so hard, so hard It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard when it doesn't come fast It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard Live for the moment When all these clouds open up for me to see Show me a vision Of you and me swimming peacefully Last night you told me That you can't remember How to feel free? It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard when it doesn't come fast It's so hard when it doesn't come easy, easy It's so hard, so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard It's so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard, it's so hard
