The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

here I am standing at your window again

waiting for you to say go away or come in

I'm your locked door's worst knocker

I'm your curtain's best friend

I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy Babe

I'm trying hard to love you - I'm looking for an easy way

your friends ask about me you say I can be found

with the cheap romance novels with their spines battered down

oh the heart has no bones you say so it won't break

but the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes

I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy Babe

I'm trying hard to love you - I'm looking for an easy way

the ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots

and though they're your hair that don't mean I'm not caught

I know the song of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor

but that new thing you've got I've got no clue what it's for

I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy Babe

I'm trying hard to love you - I'm looking for an easy way

with fortune's rocks millstones you hang round my throat

and a brick for my window weighted down with a note

I hope you find someone just as hard as you come

in this hard world sadly that's so easily done

I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy Babe

I'm trying hard to love you - I'm looking for an easy way

I'm trying hard to love you - you don't make it easy Babe

I'm trying hard to love you - there's gotta be an easy way
