  • It's too hard to begin
    When you know it will end
    And if you've got a friend
    You better leave with him

    When everyone wants to dance, I can't stand up
    I know that I need love,
    But I can't pretend, I can't pretend

    One day the moon will set for the last time
    Maybe we'll become part of a mountain
    We've always learned these things
    You know I'm not crying
    But you know I'm not trying to care

    It's too hard to begin
    When you know it will end
    And if you've got a friend
    You better leave with him

    When everyone wants to dance, I can't stand up
    I know that I need love
    But I can't pretend, I can't pretend
    I can't pretend

    Remember when you first touched my hand
    We sparkled inside at the same time
    And now it doesn't even matter

    It's too hard to begin
    When you know it will end
    And if you've got a friend
    You better leave with him

    When everyone wants to dance, I can't stand up
    I know that I need love
    But I can't pretend, I can't pretend
    I can't pretend

    I see us high, high on a mountain
    I see us die, dying in a mountain

    It's too hard to begin
    When you know it will end

    I see us high, high on a mountain
    I see us die, dying in a mountain Writer/s: JACOB GRAHAM, JOHNNY ARIES, JONATHAN ANDREW PIERCE
