Hard to love lyrics

When I was just a kid

I couldn't wait till I grow up.

Tried walking in your shoes,

But I couldn't even tie them up.

No matter how big and tall I grow;

I was always looking up to you.

You show 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 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 what it was.

So I waited but jumped the barricade.

You said you did the same thing at my age.

You show 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 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 made you proud enough.

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