[Verse 1]
If I were to write you a love song
I wonder what you would hear
You'd probably take all the words wrong so the meaning disappears
If this is you on a bad day
It must have been a hell of a year
'Cause you only show the best of you when I'm not here

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven help you, my prayers aren't enough
It's almost like you want me to give up

[Chorus]
You make it hard for me to love you
Buildin' up these mountains that I can never move
You make it hard for me to love you
If we can't work around it, then how can I gеt through?
Why you make it so hard for me to love you?
Should bе the easiest thing to do

[Verse 2]
Everything's good when you're younger
And nobody's takin' the lead
When all that we know is I belong to you and you to me
You say I take you for granted
You always needed control
But I shouldn't have to lose myself to make you whole
[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven help me, my prayers aren't enough
It's almost like you want me to give up

[Chorus]
You make it hard for me to love you
Buildin' up these mountains that I can never move
You make it hard for me to love you
If we can't work around it, then how can I get through?
Why you make it so hard for me to love you?
Should be the easiest thing to do
Ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
All I wanna do is share my love with you
So why do you have to make it so hard?
All I wanna do is share my love with you
So why do you have to tear me apart?

[Chorus]
You make it hard for me to love you
Buildin' up these mountains that I can never move
You make it hard for me to love you
If we can't work around it, then how can I get through?
Why'd you make it so hard for me to love you?
Should be the easiest thing to do
