Could it be any harder? Every night I say your name Like a prayer Wishing that I could come home Could it be any harder? To live without you Day after day Not seeing your beautiful face I live here now So far away from you So far away... I can't wake up, knowing that you would be there I can't lie on your shoulder when I need it Could it be any harder? To live without you Not being able to see my child My best friend My lover Could it be any harder? It seems like each day that we are apart Some part of me dies Not being able to take you in my arms To kiss you To protect you Could it be any harder? Could my life get any worse? Without you in my arms In my bed Not being able to hold my child To kiss him every morning and every night Or to change his diaper Could it be any harder? My life seems so pointless Without you in it You are my compass, and now that we are apart I have lost my way Life without you, without my child is a life that is not worth living Could it be any harder? I believe that yes, someday it will be safe for me to come home. But how much longer? How much precious time would I miss with my child? Could it be any harder? Could it be any harder to live without you? You are everything to me. And without you, I am nothing. Could it be any harder? No. Because this is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. Staying here, so far away from you And fighting the urge to come home Coming home, and staying forever. Could it be any harder?
