Coming of Age.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
You don't have to be hard for me
If hard is all you see
Don't be hard on me
It's hard to make you see
Don't tell me you're hard for me
It's hard to speak fluently
You hardly know me
It's hard to be me
If you take my hard on from me
See how hard I'll be
The hard part is I'm free
I'm hardened to thee.
