It seems your wounds take a lifetime to heal
She hurt you young, now you're older
You're living life in a fortress of fear
Stuck in the past, growing colder
(Growing colder)
Seems the scars on your heart want to bleed
Love is lost, shrug your shoulders
I know you're hurt but I've waited for years
Let it go, let me hold you
I'll be as gentle as I can
Love is hard for a man
I'll be as gentle as I can
Love is hard, love is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on
Love is hard for a man like you
She never said what you wanted to hear
I'll say it all, over and over
I know you're hurt but I've waited for years
Let it go, like I told you
I'll be as gentle as I can
Love is hard for a man
Oh, I'll make you understand
You are safe, in my hands
I'll be as gentle as I can
Love is hard, love is hard for a man like you
I'll be as gentle as I can
Love is hard, love is hard for a man for you
Holding on, stop holding on
Love is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on
Love is hard for a man like you
(Don't be scared, Baby, I won't hurt you)
Love is hard for a man like you
Love is hard, love is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on
Love is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on
Love is hard for a man like you
I'll be as gentle as I can
Love is hard for a man
Oh, I'll make you understand
You are safe, in my hands
I'll be as gentle as I can
Love is hard, love is hard for a man like you
Love is hard, love is hard for a man like you
Oh, oh, oh
Love is hard for a man like you
Oh, oh, oh
Love is hard for a man like you
(Holding on
Stop holding on)
