Here I am standing at your window again
Waiting for you to say go away or come in
I m your locked door s worst knocker
I m your curtain s best friend
I m trying hard to love you you don t make it easy Babe
I m trying hard to love you I m looking for an easy way
Your friends ask about me you say I can be found
With the cheap romance novels with their spines battered down
Oh the heart has no bones you say so it won t break
But the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes
I m trying hard to love you you don t make it easy Babe
I m trying hard to love you I m looking for an easy way
The ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots
And though they re your hair that don t mean I m not caught
I know the song of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor
But that new thing you ve got I ve got no clue what it s for
I m trying hard to love you you don t make it easy Babe
I m trying hard to love you I m looking for an easy way
With fortune s rocks millstones you hang round my throat
And a brick for my window weighted down with a note
I hope you find someone just as hard as you come
In this hard world sadly that s so easily done
I m trying hard to love you you don t make it easy Babe
I m trying hard to love you I m looking for an easy way
I m trying hard to love you you don t make it easy Babe
I m trying hard to love you there s gotta be an easy way
