Nothing Good Comes Easy

I've written you how many words
And still can't seem to say
Quite enough or well enough
Or ever just the right way

I try to be the world to you
The way you are to me
But sometimes it seems like the more I try
The harder you are to please

And I just wish that I could sing
What song the best you'd ever heard
Or paint the prettiest picture yet
Or find the perfect word

Or just be the best at anything
That would mean just that to you
But nothing good comes easy
No, not for me and you

And you've told me how many times
How much I mean to you
And I ought to know you love me by now
And I guess deep down
I do

But being loved and feeling loved
Are not always the same
And I do believe you can love someone
Not even know their name

But someday I'm gonna sing my song
The best you've ever heard
Or paint the prettiest picture yet
Or find the perfect word

Or just be the best at something
That would mean just that to you
But I know it would come easy
No, not for me and you
Cause nothing good comes easy
No, not even me and you
