Hard Enough

Brandon Flowers

Hard Enough

"Flamingo"

You let me into your life on a whim

And there was magic and fire in the night

In loving I was just a little boy

I made mistakes that caused you so much pain

All I know is that I'm older now

Some people think that it's best to refrain

From the conventions of old-fashioned love

Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness

They tell themselves that they're too young to settle down

Girl I promise you I'm older now

And this has been hard enough on you

I know it's been hard enough on me

Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head

Darling don't you see

While this has been hard enough on you

It's been hard enough on me

I wasn't looking when we built these walls

Let me spread my dreams at your feet

Let's not let time's bitter flood rise

Before my thoughts begin to run

I think I'm getting older now

And this has been hard enough on you

I know it's been hard enough on me

Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head

Darling don't you see

While this has been hard enough on you

It's been hard enough on me

Can't stand the thought of another

Talking to you sweet my dear

Where would I be tonight

If you hadn't held me here in your arms

And this has been hard enough on you

I know it's been hard enough on me

Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head

Darling don't you see

While this has been hard enough on you

It's been hard enough on me
