I’m not here to apologize
Don’t give me that look in your eyes
There’s nothin worse than a man
Who thinks he knows

I’ll tell you the honest truth
I’m not scared to like in my youth
Now that we both know
Exactly what we chose

Oh, this is hard love
Oh, this is hard love
We don’t mean to be
As mean as we all are
But love is hard

These worries inside my head
They’re louder than what you said
And i can’t find
A window or a door

I try calling out to you
But they’re yelling inside you, too
So it’s hard to say
What all our talk is for

Oh, this is hard love
Oh, this is hard love
We don’t mean to be
As mean as we all are
But love is hard

Have i done nothing right?
Lying here every night
Tryin to be good to you
You know i do my best

I lift up my tiny voice
It seems like the only choice
Trying to sing above
The roarin of loneliness

Oh, this is hard love
Oh, this is hard love
We don’t mean to be
As mean as we all are
But love is hard
