lyrics

staring at the ceiling
thinking what is it I’ve been missing
through these 20-some-odd years that I’ve been here

well I have had some lovers
but that just led to suffering
to dead end roads and slamming doors

so here I lie upon the floor
staring up and beg no more
heartache for this withered soul

so I’m asking
why love is such a hard thing

I’m talking to the walls again
I swear that they’ve been closing in
in this one bedroom house that I can’t afford

too scared for something new
if the glove won’t fit don’t try the shoes
just setting yourself up for disappointment and blues

so I’m crying
why love is such hard thing

I’m looking at the looking glass
but all I see is my reflection looking back

and it’s asking
why love is such a hard thing
oh why is love, is love,
is love such a hard thing

it’s such a hard thing
it’s such a hard thing
