I've always been so hard Hard to impress, harder to please, hard to hold on to You're easier than me Easy to love, easy to please, easy to cling to And here we are, as dim as morning stars dissolved in day And here we go, with optimism's glow Because I wake with an angel with her arms wrapped 'round this devil Who has slept with a clear conscience Because he stands behind his girl Old habits melt like ice That watered down the drinks, that poured into the sinks the night I met you And with no drunken kiss I went on my way, not knowing the way the night I left you And here we are, as bright as evening stars that light the way And here we go, with optimism's glow Because I wake with an angel with her arms wrapped 'round this devil Who has slept with a clear conscience Because he stands behind his girl And here we are, as bright as evening stars that light the way And here we go, with optimism's glow Because I wake with an angel with her arms wrapped 'round this devil Who has slept with a clear conscience And with no tantrums to resist The kicking, screaming Pounding fists were all because it led to this Me behind my girl
