Hard To Be True
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 in the night is when the memories fly
Cause when I'm alone I'm alone and I can't lie
Doesn't matter what I do
I'm still in love with you
Why is it so hard, so hard to be true?
If I could take back all the things I've done
When I live in the past I relive every one
Lying to myself, I knew
I'd break my heart in two
Why is it so hard, so hard to be true
Time after time
Am I a record that's been broken
I know that I'm
Outside a door that I can't open
The words "true love" I've never spoken
Time after time
Am I a record that's been broken
I know that I'm
Outside a door that I can't open
The words "true love" I've never spoken
It's such a surprise to feel so much regret
But you were a love I know I won't forget
What I did I can't undue
I really wish I knew
Why is it so hard, so hard
Why is it so hard, so hard
Why is it so hard, so hard to be true
