‘It’s hard to be brave / When the world keeps tearing at your heart…’

It’s hard to be brave

When the world keeps tearing at your heart.

Just wanna go back to the start:

Do-over!

Re-take!

Let’s-try-this-again!

What you got is what you got

The world keeps tearing you apart

Then wondering why

There’s a shake to your smile

& a break in your heart
