It’s been hard to live in this body
It’s been hard to live in this heart
I have asked for so much forgiveness
I know you’re sick of hearing this part

It’s been hard to face the sunshine
When my head is dark as the night
But I thank you for being here with me
As I fight this fight.

I’m strong
But I forget who I am sometimes
And I hide in bed, oh how I hide
And I want to live someone else’s life
And I’m wrong
For how blessed am i
But it’s hard to see all that I could be
When all I want to do is cry.

It’s been hard to live in this body
It’s been hard to live with this heart
I have asked for so much understanding
And you’ve graciously done your part.

I am trying to stand on my own two feet
Though I fall so much sometimes
And it’s hard to live in this body
Even in such a beautiful life.

I’m not strong
When I forget who I am and hide
And I cry in bed, oh how I cry
And I want to leave and forget this life
But I’m wrong
For how powerful am I
Though it’s hard to be all the things you see
When I feel like I could die.

It’s been hard to live in this body
And disappoint you from the start
I want to be so much more than me
But it’s hard to live with this heart.

And I know that strength is within me
I know my brain is too blame
It’s chemicals and balances
That fill my heart with shame.

I am strong
But I forget who I am sometimes
I can’t hide in bed, oh I can’t hide
I can’t sleep away my whole long life
I belong
in this world, if I just tried
to be all the things you see in me
I know that I could try.

It’s hard to live in this body
It’s hard to live in this heart
It’s hard the face the sunshine
And all I do is hide.

It’s hard to live for forgiveness
It’s hard to live for shame
It’s hard to need understanding
And it’s hard not take the blame.
