Life is hard

Lyrics and/or verses to either a poem or song I've been working on. It's about expectations and how life is nothing like what you were told when you were younger

The great tragedy of enemies to lovers

Ruined my perception of love with others

“He’ll fight for me, take my hand”

Life’s never going to be grand

The phrase you can do it if you just try

Makes me realize how life is a lie

For no wish will ever come true

If you only believe in you

Life is hard, take a stand

Do whatever you haven’t planned

Because if you’re stuck in the past

Each new day could be your last

Friendships won’t last forever

You won’t marry your high school treasure

Stay in touch with your family

Don’t let them down so easily

Because Life is hard, take a stand

Do whatever you haven’t planned

Because if you’re stuck in the past

Each new day could be your last

And whatever you do, do it with logic

Don’t give up just because they’re honest

Try and try and try again

Do it 'til you fall and then

Try and try and try some more

Try until you can’t take more

Life is hard, so take a stand

Do whatever you haven’t planned

Because if you’re stuck in the past

Each new day could be your last

And maybe then in the end

Finally you won’t need to pretend

Because you have done the best you could do

And that is what you amounted to
