From the recording Michael V. Ficocelli: A Songwriter's Sampler
Recorded in 1984. Writing this musical arrangement and hearing these performers bring it to life was so much fun.
Lyrics
Life with you was so hard
But I thought we'd make it
Tried to hang on from the start
Till I couldn't take it
Now that you're gone, I realize
I waited much too long
To leave all the hurt and the lies
So long 'cause
Lovin' you was so hard
But now that we have been apart
Life's been easy I've made a new start
Without you always breaking my heart
'cause lovin' you was so hard
Living with you was living without
All the love I needed
Kept in the dark and always in doubt
Like a child mistreated
Now that you're gone I have so much to give
From holding back so long
And if you think there's someone
Telling me how to live
You're all wrong 'cause
Lovin' you was so hard
So don't think I'm falling apart
Life's been easy I've made a new start
Without you always breaking my heart
'Cause lovin' you was so hard
Lovin' you was so hard
But since we've been apart
Life's been easy I've made a new start
Without you always breaking my heart
'Cause lovin' you was so hard
Lovin' you was so hard
But since we've been apart
Life's been easy I've made a new start
Without you always breaking my heart
Lovin' you was so hard
Lovin' you was so hard
But since we've been apart
Life's been easy I've made a new start
Without you always breaking my heart
Lovin' you was so hard
