Life is hard

Amy Pearl 1978 (California)



It’s hard to think when you're falling down
It’s hard to get up once you're on the ground
It’s hard to love when you’re full of hate
It’s hard to trust when there is no fate
It’s hard to breath when you're afraid
It’s hard to forgive when you’ve been betrayed
It’s hard to let go because you want to hold on tight
It’s hard to reject the nightmares and sleep at night
It’s hard to overlook the pain
It’s hard to forget and not complain
It’s hard to give your heart
And it’s harder to live after it’s been torn apart
