So Hard

So hard to turn away from a tender touch
When you're not sure why you should
So hard to say no to a sultry voice
When all that it says is good
So hard to believe in lofty goals
When the hormones clamor for more
So hard to ignore your memories
When her sunlight peeks in through your door
So hard to think clearly and rationally
When she looks at you warmly and smiles
So hard to remember who you are
When caught up in feminine wiles
So hard to keep a promise to distant friends
When thousands of miles apart
So hard to live with yourself
If you let yourself break another heart
