Take It So Hard

Tuesday morning, coffee's on

Choke it down, the telephone is ringing

Clear your throat and try to talk

Messed up mind tries to recall

Something, anything at all

To make some sense of how it went so wrong

You don't have to take it so hard

You don't have to make it so hard

Imagination running wild

But too old to speak as a child

To let it go would make you one of them

Just who are you if you ain't

You say you can but think you can't

Hold it back and lose yourself again

You don't have to take it so hard

You don't have to make it so hard

Walk the floor, wear out your shoes

Try to shake your homemade blues

And waste your time on trying to forget

Look out the window at the sky

Remind yourself that you can't fly

Just wring your hands here in your chair and fret

Is it good or is it bad?

It just adds up to all you have

Days fly by no matter what you do

No time to look over your shoulder

Everybody's getting older

Give yourself a real good talking to

You don't have to take it so hard

You don't have to make it so hard

You don't have to take it so hard

You don't have to make it so hard

So hard
