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)
