Billy Preston
Hard To Be True
[Verse]
Here in the night is when the memories fly
'Cause when I'm alone, I'm alone and I can't lie
It doesn't matter what I do, I'm still in love with you
Why is it so hard, so hard to be true?
[Verse]
If I could take back all the things I've done
When I live in the past, I relive every one
Lying to myself, I knew I'd break my heart in two
Why is it so hard, so hard to be true?
[Chorus]
Time after time, am I a record that's been broken?
I know that I'm outside a door that I can't open
The words "true love" I've never spoken
[Chorus]
Time after time, am I a record that's been broken?
I know that I'm outside a door that I can't open
The words "true love" I've never spoken
[Verse]
It's such a surprise to feel so much regret
But you were a love I know I won't forget
What I did, I can't undo
I really wish I knew
[Outro]
Why is it so hard, so hard
Why is it so hard, so hard
Why is it so hard, so hard to be true?
