the hardest thing Songtext / Lyric

I beat the odds and bent the rules
I took control of this ship of fools
I charmed the snake with poisoned lies
Took silver and gold and all that money buys

But love, love is the hardest thing
Yeah love, love is the hardest thing
Love, love is the hardest thing
The hardest thing is love

I earnt my wage, I fed my needs
I tamed the beast and spread my seed
I partied hard, burnt both ends
I played charades with my so called friends

'Cos however hard you try, you can never answer why
It don't last
The moment you feel safe, your heart loses faith
In the task
Is this really ment to be, is this my true destiny
Will I ever feel at home, will I not die alone
Oh why, oh why
Must love be the hardest thing

I travelled far, survived unscathed
It's a jungle out there, in here a maze of caves
I pied the piper, I cried the clown
Never found myself just a bed in every town
