It's A Hard Life
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart.
She wants me to go on? I cant breath without her. After everything we've been through? My heart is crushed as I watch the door shut. The love of my life has left me……for good.
This is a tricky situation -
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone -
I made the biggest mistake. Why did I have to cheat? I guess the Vodka was talking to me. I run out of the apartment, screaming for Joanne to come back, she gets in her car and sits in the drivers seat and looks at me, tears rolling down her cheek, she starts the car and dives off.
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart.
Its been a week and I haven't left my apartment, I want to hide from the world, all I've got is me, myself, and this bottle of booze, its just to much for me to handle.
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts -
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love -
I start thinking about when She and I started dating, she never trusted me and to be honest, I never trusted her, it took us 4 years and 2 break ups just to finally be a happy couple, but I had to fuck it up.
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone -
I'm starting my life over by taking baby steps, after a full month of waiting for her to come back, Collins forces me to let go.
"Mo, you have to move on."
"She's never coming back."
"She's hurt."
"Col, I know, I was the one who hurt her."
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
Waiting for love.
Its 3AM and I roll over in my bed wishing Joanne was on the other side, I cant sleep, I cant even remember the last time I slept. I wish she would come back to me. My thoughts are stopped when I hear a knock on the door.
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love -
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
I open the door and its Mark.
"I know, its early in the morning, but I cant keep doing this."
"What are you doing?" I ask softly.
"I cant keep pretending that I am over you…..Maureen, I love you so much, I know you love Joanne, but is there some place in your where I stand?"
Mark looks so nervous talking to me, I clear my throat.
"Yes, Mark, I still love you, but……"
I stop what I'm saying when I realize I should give him a chance, maybe there's a reason Joanne hasn't come back.
"Would you like to go get some coffee?" I ask with a smile.
"Umm..sure"
Mark smiles back, I can tell he's relived.
It's a long hard fight -
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love.
I get my shoes and coat on and we walk out hand in hand.
