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 shrug 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 all 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 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 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 for a man like you Oh
