lyrics

HARD BEING YOU
by Ed Charles

You inspire mixed feelings
From ecstasy to revenge
You turn your back
Like it’s a form of attack
What’s so precious that you have to defend?

Your every word is a weapon
Every entrance a coup
Every movement rehearsed
Every syllable cursed
So simple but not easy to do
Must be hard being you
Must be hard being you

Must be hard being you
Must be hard being you
When you hang from a ledge
The ones you think are your friends
Grind your fingers under their shoes
It must be hard being you

How do you handle the pressure
The burden must be immense
A suspicious mind
Can’t afford any kind
Of tenderness but in your defense
Must be hard being you
Must be hard being you

Must be hard being you
Must be hard being you
You’re under the ice
While you struggle and fight
They’re placing bets on if you’ll break through
It must be hard being you
