You tried to make me feel   Our love could be real   And I tried, tried to make you feel   You and me have a chance      We tried to understand   Promises have to be kept   But it's only a game   Where both of us hope to win      But I just found the first little cut   And I wonder why, oh God, but so what      It's hard to understand - and find a way   To give you all my life   Hard to understand - and hard to say   To give you all my life      Well, I pretend tonight   Our life is alright   But I feel the weakness now   Of living with a lie      I'm acting sweetness   But I'm burning in hate   'cause I can't stand you hurting me   The same way I hurt you      But I just found the first little cut   And I wonder why, oh God, but so what      It's hard to understand - and find a way   To give you all my life   Hard to understand - and hard to say   To give you all my life   It's hard to understand - and find a way   To give you all my life   Hard to understand - so hard to say   To give you all my life      It's hard to understand - and find a way   Hard to understand - to understand   Hard to understand - you and me have a chance   To give you all my life   I'm burning in hate 'cause it's just a game   To give you all my life   It's hard to understand - so hard to understand   To give you all my life   Hard to understand - so hard to say   To give you all my life
