"No Matter How Hard I Try" lyrics

No matter how hard I try
I can make you recognize me
Or even see my face
Though I shut down the place
No matter how hard I cry
You aren't able to try
And your like a broken door
I could cry forever more
No matter how hard I try
I can't make like I
Don't care that our marriage died
No matter how hard I try

My friends say to me
"Darling, don't be so unhappy
You just need to know you're lovely"
But it's not that easy
When you can't love me
How can I believe I'm lovely
Or know how to begin
I can just take it on the chin
You don't forgive anything
You forget everything
What about the joy I bring?
No matter how hard you try
You can make like I didn't give birth to your child

All I want to see
Is you and me raise our baby
In as much peace and harmony
As we've never seen
And my man loves me so
And you can't make me make him go
When you don't want me anyway
So it's too late to say your jealousy
It can be nothing to me
And one thing I've learned
I deserve to be loved not burned
No matter how hard you try
You can't make like I'm
Not a good mother to our child
Our child
