It's Hard to Find a Way – English Lyrics
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
...
