so hard to please

Maybe it's true what they say,
you've got to believe to
amount to anything.
Maybe I'll call it a day,
pack up and leave
or just play out the string.
'Cause my heart got so hard to please.
You can try the one way
the next day the harsh realities
leave you twisting in the wind
or sleeping in an alley crying.
My heart got so hard to please.

Maybe I'm-over fatigued.
The flavors I craved are just tasteless to me now.
The day I get back on my feet,
I'll try to behave
and remain faceless for a while.
'Cause my heart got so hard to please.
From bombshells to churchbells
in Dutch or Balinese.
Prescribe for what you feel
but what if you are feeling nothing.
My heart got so hard to please.

Give me a break,
give me some room.
I've learned to fake my way
out of this gloom.
Tonight there'll be laughter from on high.
The stars may be shining but not I.

Baby, we're over the worst.
If there's nothing burning,
it's just a false alarm.
Next time, I'll think of you first.
This second I'm learning
the third time is a charm.
My heart got so hard to please.
The wrong way,
the next day you're brought down to your knees.
Follow your dream
but what if that dream is frightening.
My heart got so hard to please.
