[Contemporary R&B Power Ballad - 72 BPM - Mezzo Female Vocal] [Verse 1] I know the way you say my name Like you're afraid to let it stay You pull me close, then hesitate Leaving me somewhere between love and wait I read the silence in your eyes Every promise comes disguised You give me just enough to hold Then disappear before it gets old [Pre-Chorus] And I keep telling my heart Don't reach too far But every time you touch me I forget where the limits are [Chorus] Your love is so hard to get Harder to keep than to forget You give me heaven for a second Then leave me drowning in regret I don't need perfect, I need real Something I can trust and feel But every time I get close to you You become the love I can't get [Verse 2] I've learned the rhythm of your heart The way you run when things get hard You want me near, but not too near You hold me tight, then disappear Maybe you're scared of what we'd be If you stopped fighting what you feel Maybe I'm asking for too much Or maybe you just can't give enough [Pre-Chorus] And I keep telling my heart Don't reach too far But every time you touch me I forget where the limits are [Chorus] Your love is so hard to get Harder to keep than to forget You give me heaven for a second Then leave me drowning in regret I don't need perfect, I need real Something I can trust and feel But every time I get close to you You become the love I can't get [Post-Chorus] Can't get, can't get Why you gotta make it this hard? Can't get, can't get Why you keep pulling me apart? I can feel you when you're gone Still I hold on, still I hold on [Bridge - Build] Tell me what you're running from Tell me what you're scared to lose I've been standing in the middle Trying not to choose Between the love you never give And the love I know I deserve How much longer can I stay Waiting for you to let me in? [Bridge - Power Vocal] I don't want another almost I don't want another maybe I don't want to feel your heartbeat Only when you're lonely If you love me, let me know If you don't, then let me go 'Cause I'm tired of being close To something I'll never hold [Final Chorus - Full Vocal] Your love is so hard to get Harder to keep than to forget You give me heaven for a second Then leave me drowning in regret I don't need perfect, I need real Something I can trust and feel But every time I get close to you You become the love I can't get [Final Chorus - Lift] So hard to get So hard to hold You make me want you Then leave me cold I gave you my heart You gave me your doubt How can I love you When you keep shutting me out? [Outro - Soft] Your love is so hard to get... And I'm tired of trying to reach it So hard to get... Maybe loving you means leaving...
