It's a Hard Life
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.
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living
With a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to any one
You win, you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh, yeah, I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
Yeah, yeah
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever
In each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another
Right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts (yeah) deep inside (oh, yeah)
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
Yes, it's a hard life
True lovers together
To love and live forever
In each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another
Right from the start
When you're in love
It's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love
In every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back at myself and say
I did it for love
Yes, I did it for love
For love
Ooh, I did it for love
