Don't Be So Hard

(album: Controversy Loves Company - 2005)

Don't be so hard on yourself
The name of the game is humiliation
And thanks for your admiration
I never thought I'd say this
The way that we play has such confrontation
And guilt by association

"Hold me, hold me..." "If I were to..."
"I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you."
"It's all in your hands but I'll do what I can,
So you can do what you have to."
"Hold me, hold me..." "If I were to..."
"I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you."
"It's all in your hands but I'll do what I can,
So you can do what you have to."

Don't think too hard about it
You never thought I'd get this far
Would get this far without you
Relax, step back and watch it happen
I'll wave my goodbyes into the night and say

"Hold me, hold me..." "If I were to..."
"I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you."
"It's all in your hands but I'll do what I can,
So you can do what you have to."
"Hold me, hold me..." "If I were to..."
"I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you."
"It's all in your hands but I'll do what I can,
So you can do what you have to."

Say you'll never, ever. Say you'll never, ever
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never, ever. Say you'll never, ever
Say you'll never tell a soul
(Say you'll never let me go)
Say you'll never, ever. Say you'll never, ever
Say you'll never let me go
(Say you'll never let me go)
Say you'll never, ever. Say you'll never, ever
Say you'll never tell a soul

"Hold me, hold me..." "If I were to..."
"I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you."
"It's all in your hands but I'll do what I can,
So you can do what you have to."
"Hold me, hold me..." "If I were to..."
"I can't, can't, I swear I can't let you."
"It's all in your hands but I'll do what I can,
So you can do what you have to."
