Jackson Browne
Hard To Be Alone
[Verse 1]
Born into the death of a dream, first morning
Reachin' out my big heart, but seen life's warning
Cryin' in the night, "Oh, won't you hold me?"
Darkness is alright, but not 'til you told me
Everything's comin' up roses, but I feel crazy
The way life imposes makes it all so hazy

[Chorus]
When you burn like fire
You feel your heart crackin' like a stone
And now that everything is underwater
It's so damn hard to be alone

[Verse 2]
Livin' in the lie, already captured and gone
Camera in the mirror for the whole world to see and cheer you on
Reachin' your depths, gaspin' at the space
Of the heartbeats you skip, they stare you in the face
It's the fear of this, you think the noise will erase
But it, it just grows

[Chorus]
When they fight like fire
You feel your heart crackin' like a stone
And now that everything is underwater
It's so damn hard to be alone
[Bridge]
Maybe we're all in cages
Of our own doin', our own device
For viewing all different stages
And you can, you can try to get out of this crowded house
This glass home
But it's so damn hard to be alone

[Outro]
Oh, it's so damn hard
It's so, so, so hard
It's so hard, huh
It's so hard
It's so, so hard, so hard
