Hard To Love

When I was just a kid

I couldn't wait til I grew up

Tried walking in your shoes

But couldn't even tie them up

No matter how big and tall I grew

I was always looking up to you

You showed me that I was just a diamond in the rough

You helped me to grow into the man that I've become

We've been down, we've been up

I hope I've made you proud enough

You make it look easy even when I'm hard to love

When I dropped out of school

You told me that my time was up

I was a rebel with a cause

Just didn't know quite what it was

So I got a job that barely paid

You said you did the same thing at my age

You showed me that I was just a diamond in the rough

You helped me to grow into the man that I've become

We've been down, we've been up

I hope I've made you proud enough

You make it look easy even when I'm hard to love

We've been down, we've been up

I hope I've made you proud enough

You make it look easy even when I'm hard to love

Even when I'm hard to love
