It seems your wounds take a lifetime to heal,
She hurt you young, now you're older
You're living life in a fortress of fear,
Stuck in the past, growing colder.
Seems the scars on your heart want to bleed,
Love is lost, strung your shoulders
I know you're hurt, but I've waited for years
Let it go, let me hold you!
I'll be as gentle as I can,
LOVE is hard for a man
I'll be as gentle as I can,
LOVE is hard,
LOVE is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on!
LOVE is hard for a man like you!
She never said what you wanted to hear,
I'll say it loud, over and over
I know you're hurt, but I've waited for years
Let it go, like I told you!
I'll be as gentle as I can,
LOVE is hard for a man
Oh, I'll make you understand
You are safe in my hands
I'll be as gentle as I can,
LOVE is hard,
LOVE is hard for a man like you
I'll be as gentle as I can,
LOVE is hard,
LOVE is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on!
LOVE is hard for a man like you!
Holding on, stop holding on!
LOVE is hard for a man like you!
[instrumental break]
Too scared out of hand
Love is hard for a man like you
Love is hard,
Love is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on!
LOVE is hard for a man like you!
Holding on, stop holding on!
LOVE is hard for a man like you!
I'll be as gentle as I can,
LOVE is hard for a man
Oh, I'll make you understand
You are safe in my hands
I'll be as gentle as I can,
LOVE is hard,
LOVE is hard for a man like you
LOVE is hard,
LOVE is hard for a man like you
Ooh oh oh ooh ooh oh
LOVE is hard for a man like you
Ooh oh oh ooh ooh oh
LOVE is hard for a man like you
