When I was younger/ Well it wasn’t so clear
When I needed you most/ Well you’d just disappear
Now it’s apparent/ What you’ll never be
And it ain’t always fair/ And it ain’t never been free

Maybe I should try harder
Maybe someday you’ll see
That it’s so hard to love the someone that you could never be

Now I’m a bit older/ While you’ve become more wild
And I guess I’ve grown colder/ While you seem more like a child
I just can’t get through to ya/ And so I don’t even try
Even if this is all true/ Well you can’t understand why

Maybe I should try harder
Maybe someday you’ll see
That it’s so hard to love the someone that you could never be

And I try to forgive ya
And I try to forget
I forget my forgiveness
Hasn’t caught up just yet
I said I try to forgive ya
Then I try to forget
I forget my forgiveness
Hasn’t caught up just yet

Hey maybe I should try harder
Maybe someday you’ll see
That it’s so hard to love the someone that you could never be
And I try to try harder
Maybe someday you’ll see
That it’s so hard to love the someone that you could never be
Yes it’s so hard to love the someone that you could never be
