Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You tried to make me feel

Our love could be real

And I tried, tried to make you feel

You and me have a chance

We tried to understand

Promises have to be kept

But it's only a game

Where both of us hope to win

But I just found the first little cut

And I wonder why, oh God, but so what

It's hard to understand - and find a way

To give you all my life

Hard to understand - and hard to say

To give you all my life

Well, I pretend tonight

Our life is alright

But I feel the weakness now

Of living with a lie

I'm acting sweetness

But I'm burning in hate

'Cause I can't stand you hurting me

The same way I hurt you

But I just found the first little cut

And I wonder why, oh God, but so what

It's hard to understand and find a way

To give you all my life

Hard to understand and hard to say

To give you all my life

It's hard to understand and find a way

To give you all my life

Hard to understand so hard to say

To give you all my life

...

It's hard to understand, find a way

Hard to understand to understand

Hard to understand you and me have a chance

To give you all my life

I'm burning in hate 'cause it's just a game

To give you all my life

It's hard to understand so hard to understand

To give you all my life

Hard to understand so hard to say

To give you all my life

...
