Cowboy Junkies - Hard to explain lyrics

rate me

If it ain't one thing

I tell you it's always another

I wonder why

I started treating you like a step-brother

Love is hard to explain

I know my loss is someone else's gain

Sometime's love is like a bitter pill

But we just have to take it like it is

Sometimes life is the sweetest thing

and sometimes it's just naked pain

Oh, it's so hard to explain

I know my loss is someone else's gain

My troubles started when I found you

But that's when I (wrapped?) my world around you

And now my living ain't so easy

I thought that's what a woman was supposed to do

You see, it's so hard to explain

I know my loss is someone else's gain

I went to see my doctor

`Cause I thought I had a hole in my heart

but he said "Girl, you're just wasting my time

Because some man messed up,

went and messed up your mind"

It's so hard to explain

I know my loss is someone else's gain

Oh, love it's so hard to explain

It'll make you forget your name

It'll turn you upside down

It'll make you wish that you'd never been found
