Hard Enough

  • You let me into your life on a whim
    And there was magic and fire in the night
    In loving I was just a little boy
    I made mistakes that caused you so much pain
    All I know is that I'm older now

    Some people think that it's best to refrain
    From the conventions of old-fashioned love
    Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness
    They tell themselves that they're too young to settle down
    Girl I promise that I'm older now

    And this has been hard enough on you
    I know it's been hard enough on me
    Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes

    And when the water gets high above your head
    Darling don't you see,
    While this has been hard enough on you
    It's been hard enough on me

    I wasn't looking when we built these walls
    Let me spread my dreams at your feet
    Let's not let time's bitter flood rise
    Before my thoughts begin to run
    I think I'm getting older now

    And this has been hard enough on you
    I know it's been hard enough on me
    Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes

    And when the water gets high above your head
    Darling don't you see,
    While this has been hard enough on you
    It's been hard enough on me

    Can't stand the thought of another, talking to you sweet my dear
    Where would I be tonight if you hadn't held me here, in your arms?

    And this has been hard enough on you
    I know it's been hard enough on me
    Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes

    And when the water gets high above your head
    Darling don't you see,
    While this has been hard enough on you
    It's been hard enough on me Writer/s: BENJAMIN LYSAGHT, BRANDON FLOWERS, DANIEL ROLAND LANOIS, JENNY LEWIS
