[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
