"Hard To Be With You"

Subtle voices seldom ever heard from either one of us
Controversy always seemed the simplest way to show
That more than fear was there
It isn't safe, it isn't fair

Sweet confessions bordering the edge of something dangerous
Broad concessions that only fools in love would ever make
We're seized in our own fate
No turning back, too much at stake

But it wasn't supposed to be like this
And complicate my head
Another reason to lie awake in bed
When all along you knew
We'd wind up here instead

Standing here naked in front of you
My head is about to explode
Waiting for something more comforting
Than how much you want me to know
That you'll love me forever
That you let me inside of your soul
There's a reason to hide what we're feeling inside
It's spinning us out of control

You said be careful what you ask for
I didn't ask for this
Too much to read in this new chapter
Something has got to give
We're in too deep

Tired of wondering what to do
Embarrassed and writing a song
Worried I might be offending you
I've done what I want for so long
This confusion might drown me
All I know is I gave you my heart
What that means in the end isn't reason to spend
Eternity crazy on you

You said be careful what you ask for
I didn't ask for this
Too much to read in this new chapter
Something has got to give
We're in too deep

New beginnings scare me to the point of shutting down
Look at all the good we stand to lose
How we got here
Now we feel each others' every move
So hard to be with you

But it wasn't supposed to be like this
And complicate my head
Another reason to lie awake in bed
When all along you knew...
