It's Hard


 

It’s hard to speak your mind when you can’t find the words to say

It’s hard to hide your emotions when your face gives it away

It’s hard to forget those moments that make you want to cry

It’s hard to let someone go without the chance to say goodbye

 

It’s hard to feel happy when your world is crashing down

It’s hard to keep on smiling when you have no friends around

It’s hard to stay positive when you feel like giving up

It’s hard to remain calm and pretend you don’t give a f*ck.

 

It’s hard to trust again when you’ve been lied to for so long

It’s hard to pick yourself back up and be able to move on

It’s hard to continue waiting for these lonely nights to pass

It’s hard to see the cup half full when you have a broken glass

 

It’s hard to pretend that you really could care less

It’s hard to remain strong when you’re under such distress

It’s hard to realize what you have until you find it’s gone

It’s hard to look back at your life and see you wound up all alone.
