Anouk – It's So Hard lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just thinkin' about the child in me
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small
Is it you that hurts me when I give myself?
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out?
Did I really ask too much of you, baby?

[Chorus]
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?
Do you mean to say?
It's all so hard, it's so hard
It's all so hard, it's so hard

[Verse 2]
As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naive
When you say that our love to you was just a game
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way

[Chorus]
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?
Do you mean to say?
It's all so hard, it's so hard
It's all so hard, it's so hard
Damned, it's so hard, why you're so hard?
Why you're so hard?
It's tearing me apart

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Do you mean to tell me that's the way it is?
Do you mean to say?
It's all so hard, yeah, all so hard
Why you're so hard?
It's tearing me apart
It's all so hard, it's all so hard
It's all so hard, tearing me apart
