It's so hard to be friends
When it was so easy to be lovers
Holdin' on, holdin' on to each other
It's so hard to be free
When it was so easy to be sheltered

Smothered by the promises
Someone said would keep the fire
Fill the cup and keep from deceivin'
Know so well, never tell

So hard to step forward
So easy to turn inward
Too soon to be ended
Too late too late to be mended
[repeat]

It's so hard to be friends
When it was so easy to be lovers
