Harder Than I Thought lyrics

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
