Is it so hard to be friends
When it was so easy to be lovers
Holding on, holding on to each other
Is it so hard to be free
When it was so easy to be sheltered?

Mothered by the promises that someone said would keep the fire
And fill the cup and feed the hungry feelings
We know so well (So well)
But never tell (Never tell)

(So hard) Is it so hard
(To step forward) To step forward, baby
(So easy) It's so easy
(To in turn inward) To turn inward, baby

(Too soon) Too soon
(To be ended) To be ended
(Too late) It's too late
(Too late) Too late, too late, too late
(To be mended)

Is it so hard to be friends
When it was so easy to be lovers
Holding on (Holding on)
Holding on (Holding on)
To eachother
(So hard) Is it so hard
(To step forward) To step forward, baby
(So easy) It's so easy
(To in turn inward)

(Too soon) It's too soon
(To be ended) To be ended, baby
(Too late) Yeah, too late
(To be mended) (Alright)

(So hard) Yeah, so hard
(To step forward) To step forward, forward
(So easy) So easy
(To in turn inward) Baby, baby

(Too soon) Too soon
(To be ended) To be ended
