I Can Do Hard Things Lyrics - Jennifer Nettles

[Verse 1] 

Sometimes I don't like it 

But that don't mean I don't love it 

Sometimes I get down so low 

But that don't mean I can't rise above it 

Sometimes it's the vast unknown 

As far as I can see 

And sometimes it feels like I'm touching everything 

And everything is touching me 

I've lost people and money 

To become the woman I am today 

And I'll still be becoming tomorrow 

Maybe losin', but still choosin' her anyway

[Chorus] 

It's a lot to look at all that I got 

It's a lot to see who I am and am not 

But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream 

And I can do hard things 

[Verse 2] 

I look at my baby, I wouldn't trade him for the world 

And I've gained joy like I've never known 

But lost the lightness when I was a girl 

We're told to say that it's better 

And it is and it isn't, and I know 

That there's little black or white 

There's little wrong or right 

And mostly it's both

Chorus] 

It's a lot to look at all that I got 

It's a lot to see who I am and am not 

But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream 

And I can do hard things 

[Bridge] 

Sometimes I can hold it all 

I know where I end and where I start 

And sometimes it's all way too heavy 

And I weight more than the sun of all my parts 

Chorus] 

It's a lot to look at all that I got 

It's a lot to see who I am and am not 

But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream 

I can win or I can lose, it's all the same 

I still dance, and I'll sing in the pain 

And I can do hard things
