Life Is Hard

The evening winds are still
 I've lost the way and will
 Can't tell you where they went
 I just know what they meant
 I'm always on my guard
 Admitting life is hard
 Without you near me
 The friend you used to be
 So near and dear to me
 You slipped so far away
 Where did we go astray?
 I passed the old school yard
 Admitting life is hard
 Without you near me
 Ever since the day, the day you went away
 I felt that emptiness so wide
 I don't know what's wrong or right
 I just know I need strength to fight
 Strength to fight that world outside
 Since we've been out of touch
 I haven't felt that much
 From day to barren day
 My heart stays locked away
 I walk the boulevard
 Admitting life is hard
 Without you near me
 The sun is sinking low
 I guess it's time to go
 I feel a chilly breeze
 In place of memories
 My dreams are locked and barred
 Admitting life is hard
 Without you near me
 Hmm, without you near me
