When the one you love does not see that you love her ...

lyrics

LOOKING SO HARD

I bring you coffee
Your tears have stopped now
You speak so softly
I must drop down beside you

I smell your hair and
I taste your sadness
I hear you say you hate the man
Then you swear you’ll find another
who will never leave
But if it’s love you want
then, honey, why not me?

Ain’t no diamond in every rough
Why are you looking so hard?
I stand before you
Hey, ain’t I real enough?
No need to reach so far

You met at my place
it was me who introduced you
and me who watched your open face
as he quietly seduced you

You told me all your secrets
As though I were a brother
I listened, I was patient
As you swore that this was the man
who would never leave
It was love you’d found
and it was killing me

Ain’t no diamond in every rough
Why are you looking so hard?
I stand before you
Hey, ain’t I real enough?
No need to reach so far
So far

You say you’re tired
I offer to drive you
The road is dark and quiet
and my speeding heart is hiding

I walk you to your doorstep
I kiss you in shadow
You look at me and I suspect
You know I’ve found the one I would never leave
But you’re too hurt to care
And I’m too scared to speak

Ain’t no diamond in every rough
Why are you looking so hard?
I stand before you
Hey, ain’t I real enough?
No need to reach so far
