Karaoké Stay When Im Hard to Love Diane Butler

Mmh mmh

Mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh

Yeah eh eh

I learned how to smile with tears in my eyes

How to survive while slowly dyin' inside

Gave too much love to people passin' through 'till I forgot what love was supposed to do

I carry pain like it belonged to me

Wore my heart break like a memory

But look at me now

I'm still standin' here after all these broken years

And I don't need the world's approval anymore

If they don't understand me that's what closed doors are for

Stay when I'm hard to love not just when I'm givin' you all of me

'Cos women like me don't come from comfort

We come from survivin' everything

Love me when my mind gets heavy

When my nights get dark and messy

I'm not perfect, I never was but nobody will love you the way I do

So if you want somethin' honest

Somethin' deeper than just touch

Mmh take my scars and take my heart and stay when I'm hard to love

I celebrate every part of myself now

Even the woman they judged back then somehow

'Cos every version that I had to be led me back home to me

And honestly

I'm finally feelin' good

The way a healed soul probably should

No more shrinkin' to make people stay

If they leave let them walk away

I don't need savin' anymore but your love feels safe to fall into

Stay when I'm hard to lo-ove

Not just when I'm givin' you all of me

'Cos women like me don't come from comfort

We come from survivin' everything

Love me when my mind gets heavy

When my nights get dark and messy

I'm not perfect, I never was but nobody will love you the way I do oh

So if you want somethin' honest

Somethin' deeper than just touch

Take my scars and take my heart and stay when I'm hard to love

Uh

I made peace with my past

With the girl who begged love to last

Now I know my worth too much to ever settle for almost and

Maybe I cry a little more these days but at least now I don't hide my pain

'Cos strong women don't become strong by luck

We become strong because life was rough

Stay when my smile ain't shinin'

When my whole world feels like collapsin'

When I'm overthinkin' at midnight

Tryin' to win another fight inside me

Be my calm when I feel chaos

Be my home when I feel lost

Oh and I'll give you every part of me that heartbreak couldn't destroy

I'm not lookin' for somebody perfect ooh

I just want somebody true ooh

Someone who will still hold my hand when the hard days come into view

So if your love is really different

If your forever isn't just talk

Then let me be your woman and I swear to God

I won't let your heart break apart

Mmh mmh mmh mmh

Mmh mmh mmh

Heh eh ey

Eeh
