Love is Hard

Hard Rock ballad. One of my original songs, an early one I wrote as a teenager actually. Recorded during my first time around with Windlass, around 2013. A strong hard rock ballad. Lyrics Love Is Hard Copyright 2013 Morgan St. James Verse 1 We were fire in a cheap motel Burning fast where the shadows fell Young enough to believe the lies Strong enough just to survive You wore heartbreak like a leather crown I wore pride that dragged me down Every kiss felt dangerous But walking away was worse Pre-Chorus Now the night keeps calling your name And nothing feels the same Chorus Love is hard — harder than steel Cuts so deep you forget how to heal Love is hard — cold as the rain Leaves your soul bleeding out in pain But I’d do it all again Yeah, I’d take the fall again Because love is hard Verse 2 We danced slow to a broken song Two lost souls trying to hold on Every promise cracked with time Like old guitars and cheap red wine Now your memory hits like thunder Pulling my whole world under Still I see you in every crowd Still I hear your voice out loud Pre-Chorus And every road I run Leads back to what we were Chorus Love is hard — harder than steel Cuts so deep you forget how to heal Love is hard — cold as the rain Leaves your soul bleeding out in pain But I’d do it all again Yeah, I’d take the fall again Because love is hard Bridge Maybe hearts were made to break Maybe scars are what we take From the ones who change our lives Then disappear into the night Final Chorus Love is hard — harder than stone Makes you feel alive when you’re alone Love is hard — cruel and wild Turns a strong man back into a child But I’d do it all again Just to feel your touch again Because love is hard Outro Love is hard… But losing you was harder…
