It's hard to love you

It's hard to love you, when you push me away

When your words cut deep, like knives on display

It's hard to love you, when you shut me out

And leave me standing, with my heart full of doubt

I

t's hard to love you, when you're always so cold

And your eyes are distant, like stories untold

It's hard to love you, when you won't let me in

And you keep your secrets, locked deep within

It's hard to love you, when you're always on guard

And you shut me out, before I can even start

It's hard to love you, when you won't take a chance

And you leave me standing, in a lonely dance

But despite it all, I'll keep holding on

For the love I have for you, is simply too strong

I'll keep loving you, even when it's hard

For in my heart, you'll always have a place, a guard.
