It's hard to love, when I am all alone
To make my way through all the thorns and swords;
When all the pricks and scratches are my own
And all I get instead is heavy words.
It's hard to love, when every date's a test
And I perspire awaiting for a trick.
I guess I simply have to do my best
And smile when I get another kick.
I rise again to show you that I can.
I fix the dress, the necklace on my neck;
Another kick and I am down again.
It's hard to love when no one loves you back.
