Hard Enough - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You let me into your life on a whim

And there was magic and fire in the night

In loving, I was just a little boy

I made mistakes that caused you so much pain

All I know is that I'm older now

Some people think that it's best to refrain

From the conventions of old-fashioned love

Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness

They tell themselves that they're too young to settle down

Well, I promise that I'm older now

And this has been hard enough on you

I know it's been hard enough on me

Been tellin' myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head

Darlin', don't you see?

While this has been hard enough on you

It's been hard enough on me

I wasn't lookin' when we built these walls

Let me spread my dreams at your feet

Let's not let time's bitter flood rise

Before my thoughts begin to run

I think I'm getting older now

And this has been hard enough on you

I know it's been hard enough on me

Been tellin' myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head

Darlin', don't you see?

While this has been hard enough on you

It's been hard enough on me

I can't stand the thought of another

Talking to you sweet, my dear

Where would I be tonight if you hadn't held me here

In your arms?

And this has been hard enough on you

I know it's been hard enough on me

Been tellin' myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head

Darlin', don't you see?

While this has been hard enough on you

It's been hard enough on me
