LYRICS:


1st VERSE
cold dust in the sun rays
can’t trust myself so I’m headed home
said I’d meet you back at my place
even tho I know I need a night alone


PRE-CHORUS
you can tell me you don’t love me
its easier than watching you try
and I don’t know when this turned ugly
but I spent a minute wondering why


CHORUS
maybe it was me then
maybe it was meant to be then
I don’t wanna feel like,
I’m a bit too hard to love (x2)


2nd VERSE
I was too afraid to ask yuh
the other me might love the answer
run away with the truth to a darker pasture
all i needed was proof to prevent my peace
(-) and back then we would barely sleep
but hide scars till the hurting would start to seep
the same path wouldn’t work if we went too deep
and neither one of us would take the leap
so I tiptoe slowly lonely
round it , grounded - calm
a little bit of love never did no harm
fitting like a glove when I’m in your arms
then I giggle just because when I see your laugh - who said life was a constant
times still mould us fight through the nonsense
see you clear
can’t stay here
still be near - I told you
everything we go through it grows us
still i’m pulling at the door when it closes
tell myself don’t feel stay focused
focused
and it works till I lose my way
but Cucu still prays so I keep my faith
it won’t show through words but the peace we make
just hope I make time for new mistakes
it might be great, might be great


PRE-CHORUS
you can tell me you don’t love me
its easier than watching you try
and I don’t know when this turned ugly
but I spent a minute wondering why

CHORUS
maybe it was me then
maybe it was meant to be then
I don’t wanna feel like,
I’m a bit too hard to love (x2)
