Harder Than I Thought

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 (Aaaaah)
To hold your head high (Aaaaah)
And it's harder than I thought (Aaaaah)
To do what gives you pride (Aaaaah)
And it's harder than I thought (Aaaaah)
To love what you do (Aaaaah)
And it's harder than I thought (Aaaaah)
To feel you're way through (Aaaaah)

(My mother told me, my mother told me, my mother told me)
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, wo-oh-oh-oh
I know and I care and I realise
The feelings I'm trying to hide

See it's harder than I thought (Aaaaah)
To hold your head high (Aaaaah)
And it's harder than I thought (Aaaaah)
To do what gives you pride (Aaaaah)
And it's harder than I thought (Aaaaah)
To love what you do (Aaaaah)
And it's harder than I thought (Aaaaah)
To feel you're way through (Aaaaah)

See it's harder than I thought (I know I feel it inside)
(Harder than I thought) These things I'm trying to hide
(Harder than I thought) I know I feel it inside
(Harder than I thought) These things I'm trying to hide
