[Verse 1]
Everything in this house breaks
What wouldn't under the weight?
Everything in this house goes away
You're going to fix it, or so you say
Everything in this house wants to breathe
The words that get twisted up when you speak
There's something to be said about being strong
Well there's something to be said about never being wrong

[Chorus]
And you're so hard on me
Why would you want to be?
Am I not the one you love?
You're so hard on everyone
You're so hard on me
Why would I let you be?
Am I not the one you love?
You're so hard on everyone

[Verse 2]
Everything in this house is afraid
What wouldn't be, under your weight?
I believed all the things you claim to know
And then you treat me like a lie that you use when you lose control
And everything in this house goes away
A storyline that was bound to break
'Cause you can't wrap it up with a pretty bow
And then take your gifts back when all the cracks start to show
[Chorus]
And you're so hard on me
Why would you want to be?
Am I not the one you love?
You're so hard on everyone
You're so hard on me
Why would I let you be?
Am I not the one you love?
You're so hard on everyone

[Outro]
Everyone
Hard on everyone
