Harder Than I Thought

My mother told me be independent
It's worth more than gold
And my mother told me don't you ever
Wait for them boys
I'm sorry mum I let you down
See I'm stuck in the middle, my inner battle
My fear of getting old
Without giving it meaning, succeeding and winning
In all I can hold
I'm sorry mum I let you down
Please
See it's harder than I thought
To hold your head high
And it's harder than I thought
To do what gives you pride
And it's harder than I thought
To love what you do
And it's harder than I thought
To feel you're way through
Feel your way through
My mother told me nothing is easy
You work for your goal
If you want to fight a bit harder
You can have control
I'm sorry mum I let you down
Please
See it's harder than I thought
To hold your head high
And it's harder than I thought
To do what gives you pride
And it's harder than I thought
To love what you do
And it's harder than I thought
To feel you're way through
I know and I hear and I understand
This affair is taking from my inside
I know and I care and I realize
The feelings I'm trying to hide
See it's harder than I thought
To hold your head high
And it's harder than I thought
To do what gives you pride
And it's harder than I thought
To love what you do
And it's harder than I thought
To feel you're way through
See it's harder than I thought
I know I feel it inside
These things I'm trying to hide
I know I feel it inside
These things I'm trying to hide
