Its seems your wounds take a lifetime to heal
She hurt you young, now you're older
You're living life in a fortress of fear
Stuck in the past growing colder
Seems the scars on your heart want to bleed
Love is lost, shrug your shoulders
I know you're hurt but I've waited for years
Let it go, let me hold you

I'll be as gentle as I can, love is hard for a man
I'll be as gentle as I can, love is hard
Love is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on
She never said what you wanted to hear
I'll say it all, over and over
I know you're hurt but I've waited for years
Let it go, like I told you

I'll be as gentle as I can, love is hard for a man
Oh I'll make you understand, you are safe in my hands
I'll be as gentle as I can, love is hard
love is hard for a man like you
I'll be as gentle as I can, love is hard
love is hard for a man like you
Holding on, stop holding on
