Please Life isn't easy Oh, I suppose I don't have to tell you that Yes, I know your life has been hard Yes, I know you've had your problems Yes, I know you think they were worse than mine But for once Just for once Couldn't you listen to me? No, I don't even want your advice I don't want to know what you would do I just want you to listen And let me cry, if I need to Hold me close Tell me that it'll work out Even if it might not And that you'll be praying Because sometimes Someone listening makes it a lot better Even if the problem isn't solved And if you don't listen Eventually I'll stop coming to you And then when you're hurt Because I don't tell you things What will you want me to say? I doubt I'll have anything to say And I'm sorry I just wish you would listen when I said Life isn't easy Lynette Yorgey
