Who'd've+thought+love+could+be+so+hard?

Who would have thought that love could be so hard What we want grows fat while what we get seems starved Just what's yours and what's mine get blurred - including all our scars Until we can't see that we can grow - we just seem halved After all the plans for freedom we devised We politely sit and curse our compromise After all we've said and shared, it's dead before our eyes And we can't shake it back to life no matter how we try This love must be the hardest fact to hold It gives us powers that we can't control We stake our claim for freedom as we pledge our souls We wreathe our dreams around our logic's pole???? In the middle of the night the words come cruel All the reasons hang like petty heartless rules And though there's never one to blame there's always one the fool And all our once sweet dreams are doused while hidden fears are fuelled
