I know you love your children
I know you love your wife
I know you set yourself up to live the simple life

You give it all and you realize
You haven't opened up those eyes
Since you were young and its so bright
It hurts it hurts
It hurts it hurts

And then you try to take it all in
And realize you can't begin again
You wonder how you keep movin'

I can offer you so little help
but just accept the hands you've been dealt
Do your best to be a good man

Do you know how hard that is?
Do you know how strange I love you?

You love me and I know that
and I can't let a precious thing go
I don't love you like you love me
I'm pretty sure you should know

I try and bring meaning to all things
and as I try to take you in I cant wait to be alone
then you fall in love with me
And your love becomes my responsibility
And I can never do you wrong

Do you know how strange I love you?
Do you know how hard that is?

I do not believe we were born equality
Wanna know what I see?
Those who do good will be treated accordingly

I know you love your children
I know you love your wife
I know you set yourself up to live the simple life

You give it all and you realize
You haven't opened up those eyes
Since you were young and its so bright
It hurts it hurts
It hurts it hurts

And I try and bring meaning to all things
and as I try to take you in I cant wait to be alone
then you fall in love with me
And your love becomes my responsibility
And I can never do you wrong

Do you know how strange I love you?
Do you know how hard that is?
