This World Is Hard to Live In

[Intro] Every breath I take — it cuts like a thorn The world’s distorted, drowning, torn Your voice, the only light I knew Now it’s gone — a dream of you [Verse 1] The road I walk turns back to pain The flame of hope is lost in rain Softest words now sound untrue The world and God both fade from view But you were real, you stayed behind Now I cry for what I can’t rewind [Pre-Chorus] I look to the sky — it’s painted gray Still I call your name each day My voice just fades, it echoes thin A lost lamb searching deep within [Chorus] This world is hard to live in… When you were here, the light would shine Now that you’re gone, I’m breaking inside My heart is shattered — torn by time You were the one who healed my soul Even a spark of you could show The way back home through the endless night [Verse 2] The city fades to distant sound Loneliness wraps and pulls me down I wear a smile — it’s just a mask No one can feel the pain I grasp You saved my heart, you set me free Now your warmth’s just memory [Chorus] This world is hard to live in… When you were here, the stars would shine Now that you’re gone, it’s hard to breathe My heart’s in pieces lost at sea You were the one who healed my soul Even a spark of you could show The way back home through the endless night [Bridge] Time keeps turning, seasons fade The scars I bear will never trade Still I’m breathing, still I fight Holding your promise through the night [Chorus] This world is hard to live in… When you were here, the light would shine Now that you’re gone, I’m breaking inside My heart is shattered — torn by time You were the one who healed my soul Even a spark of you could show The way back home through the endless night [Outro] Someday I’ll see you again — I believe Holding your smile while I grieve Even if God turns away from me If my voice can reach you — that’s all I need
