Lyrics
HARD TO BE HERE
I was looking for a friendly face on which to fix my eyes
I was looking for a quiet hole dark enough to hide
An' I don't really wanna listen to this conversation
An' I don't really wanna be here right now
Well your smile can paint the sky from sea to shining sea
So (an') I never wanna see you cry over me (in front of me)
It's hard to be here it's hard to be here
It's hard to be here with you right now
I don't really wanna see you fall all to pieces
An' I don't really wanna see it end this way
If we could only find a way to reach this destination
Cuz' I don't really wanna be here right now
Well your face can light the sky over hill and dell
but when I see you cry (it feels like)I feel (jus') like hell
Well your laugh can light the day like a summer picnic sun
So when my heart gets in the way I gotta run
It's hard to be here it's hard to be here
It's hard to be here with you right now
