How typical of us is this I talk and you act like you're listening And while I pour my heart out You count your fingertips Or stare down at your feet clearly disinterested How poetic that we end this way 'Cause you and your closed mind weren't going to change You were just a cynic never in it for the long haul No I don't really mind it's find if we leave it all 'Cause it's hard to love someone who doesn't want to be loved, hard To love someone who always keeps a guard up Who's scared of letting you in And it's hard to love someone who's too afraid to show love, hard Who pulls away as soon as they feel too much Who's scared off letting you in My cards are down, now it's your turn Oh, what a surprise that you can't find the right words Or any words at all We sit here in silence Here's one thing I know I won't ever miss 'Cause it's hard to love someone who doesn't want to be loved, hard To love someone who always keeps a guard up Who's scared of letting you in And it's hard to love someone who's too afraid to show love, hard Who pulls away as soon as they feel too much Who's scared off letting you in I hope you find a way to open up I feel sad for you You said that you can't imagine getting close to anyone It's just easier for you It's hard It's hard to love someone who doesn't wanna be loved
