Too Hard

You're dodging my calls, avoiding my eyes
shuffling your feet and telling me lies
you think I don't know, but baby I do
it's the same pattern, same routine
it's always the same damn thing
you'll push me away and then reel me back in
the ultimate puppet master, always pulling my strings

You say it's too hard

there's distance in your eyes, in your touch

I know when I've been benched and I'm now second string

i know things just aint the same

and i know that things have to change

some things are worth fighting for

fight for me and i'll fight for you

let's close this gap and move on

let's build that bridge and get over it

It's a game of tug of war but neither one of us will win

together we could move mountains but lately 

we're just making mountains out of mole hills

I know right now we're stuck, out of luck
this rock and hard place is all too familiar
don't push me away, we can figure it out
my heart aches, oh it breaks, when we fight
what the hell were we even fighting 'bout?

You say it's too hard

there's distance in your eyes, in your touch

I know when I've been benched and I'm now second string

i know things just aint the same

and i know that things have to change

some things are worth fighting for

fight for me and i'll fight for you

let's close this gap and move on

let's build that bridge and get over it

I'm not so complicated

just a woman with her heart in her hands

I want to be loved, to be held, I want a friend

So shh baby, just lay in my arms

I'll stroke your skin and make it all go away

it will all work out cause it has to

part of my life, part my heart

I won't let you go, lately the scales have been tipping

but we'll find that balance, don't say no.

we throw it in the fire, watch it all burn
watching these memories go up in smoke
just when I think we're done and it's all too much
you turn and give me one more touch

You say it's too hard

there's distance in your eyes, in your touch

I know when I've been benched and I'm now second string

i know things just aint the same

and i know that things have to change

some things are worth fighting for

fight for me and i'll fight for you

let's close this gap and move on

let's build that bridge and get over it

one more touch one more touch
it's all too much
hush hush  we'll work it out
hush hush we'll work it out
