[Verse 1]

I'm just thinkin' about the child in me

That I sometimes feel inside

And I'm figuring out just what it is

That makes me feel so small

Is it you that hurts me when I give myself?

Every day and every night

Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out?

Did I really ask too much of you, baby?


[Pre-Chorus]

Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?

Do you mean to say?


[Chorus]

It's all so hard, it's so hard

It's all so hard, it's so hard


[Verse 2]

As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky

And I know that you're the one to blame

And I feel so naive

When you say that our love to you was just a game

I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane

Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way


[Pre-Chorus]

Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?

Do you mean to say?

Yeah-yeah


[Chorus]

It's all so hard, it's so hard

It's all so hard, it's so hard

Damned, it's so hard, why you're so hard?

Why you're so hard?

It's tearing me apart


[Instrumental break]


[Pre-Chorus]

Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?

Do you mean to say?


[Chorus]

It's all so hard, yeah, all so hard

Why you're so hard?

It's tearing me apart

It's all so hard, it's all so hard

It's all so hard, tearing me apart
