Hard To Keep Songtext
von Jim Stanard

From a train pulling out of Union Station
She yelled "it′s the journey, not the destination"
She don't think much ′bout tomorrow
Lives like all her time is borrowed

Tried to keep her safe
Wanted to protect
From rocky shores
Where dreams get wrecked

Held on too tight
Dug in too deep
I lost what I tried
Too hard to keep

I knew she was headed west
She left a photo, but not a forwarding address
Our love wasn't what it seemed
We were chasing different dreams


Tried to keep her safe
Wanted to protect
From rocky shores
Where dreams get wrecked

Held on too tight
Dug in too deep
I lost what I tried
Too hard to keep

I begged her not to go, I needed her near
Should have known I couldn't protect her from my own fears

Tried to keep her safe
Wanted to protect
From rocky shores
Where dreams get wrecked

Held on too tight
Dug in too deep
I lost what I tried
Too hard to keep

I lost what I tried
Too hard to keep
