[Verse 1]
'Cause it's so hard to be friends
When it was so easy to be lovers
Holdin' on, holdin' on to each other
It's so hard to be free
When it was so easy to be sheltered

[Verse 2]
Mothered by the promises
Someone said
"Keep the fire, fill the cup
And feed hungry feelings
Know so well, never tell"

[Chorus]
So hard to step forward
So easy to turn inward
Too soon to be ended
Too late, too late to be mended

[Chorus]
So hard to step forward
So easy to turn inward
Too soon to be ended
Too late, too late to be mended
[Outro]
'Cause it's so hard to be friends
When it was so easy to be lovers
