Lyrics and translation
Original
Sometimes it's hard to smile
When the world feels against us
When the tears are on the pavement
Ooh, I see it in their eyes
Sometimes it's hard to smile
When the world feels against us
When our blood is on the pavement
Sometime it'll all subside
Love's tryna be my friend
What you gonna do if I hand you my heart?
I think that maybe now it's my time
And I can't stand to lose (sometimes it's hard)
And I know, and we know, and you know that it's been hard
And I learn, and you learn to keep up a fighting stance
Will I see the day I don't feel the need to
Defend myself?
But if I get caught in a losing race
Can a mother's hold change a baby's fate?
I get sick, I get tired
Of carrying this weight on my mind
And with every step that I've got to take
Don't know how much more that a heart can break
I'm so sick, I'm so tired
I can't keep losing my mind
I wanna be brave
I wanna be in love
It's time I stop running away
I should stay, I should stay, I should stay
Love's tryna be my friend
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Don't go away, please don't go away, please don't go away
Love's tryna be my friend
