It's so much harder so much harder
Than you thought it would be
You try and you try but you can't see the light
You hide in the day and cry in the night
But don't lose sight

[Chorus]
It's so much harder so much harder
Than you thought it would be

You're so many friends but you're always alone
You're trying to swim but you sink like a stone
Your knees get weak your hands are shaking
You get so scared that you can hardly speak
But hold on tight it's a new surprise
I can see the tears are in your eyes

[Chorus]

You try and you try but you can't see the light
You hide in the day and cry in the night
Who would have thought this pride and joy
Would end up being such a lonely boy
There goes love here comes hate
You get confused so you watch and you wait
By the time you wake up it's all too late

[Chorus]

Your knees get weak your hands are shaking
You get so scared that you can hardly speak
But hold on tight it's a new surprise
I can see the tears are in your eyes
This hate is only disguise
