Hard by Gregory Douglass

“God, take this canopy away from me,
I need to reaquaint the sky,
We've done our best and so I'm leaving,
'Cause it's my life, it's my life.

I know it's hard enough to figure out
What's right and what's a waste of time,
Just like how easy it can be to hold on to a lie.

I know everything is going to work out fine,
I've been waiting for this day all this time,
You've done everything that you could do,
but floating is just a waste of my foolish pride.

I'll miss you hard enough to hide it,
I need you hard enough to try,
I love you hard enough to move on.

Believe me when I say I need this,
I'm sick and tired of this place,
Believe me when you see the likes of it,
or just the look on my face.

I'll miss you hard enough to hide it,
I need you hard enough to try,
I love you hard enough to move on.”
