So much hard work

So much hard work,
listening to you cry.
So much hard work,
hearing your despair.
So much hard work,
wanting to walk away.
So much hard work,
knowing that you hurt.
So much hard work,
not being able to mend.
So much hard work,
wanting to fix it all.
So much hard work,
all your demanding.
So much hard work,
keeping up with you.
So much hard work,
to stop me crying too.
So much hard work,
to stop you hurting you.
So much hard work,
to see you self-destruct.
So much hard work,
to know I'm just the same.
