Infertility

"So Hard" lyrics from the Dixie Chicks

Someone mentioned this song a while ago on this board & I downloaded it. Two of the Chicks went through infertility & IVF (with success). They wrote a song about their experience. The words really hit home:

 

"So Hard"

Back when we started
We didn't know how hard it was
Living on nothing
But what the wind would bring to us
Now we've got something
I can imagine fighting for
So why is fighting all that we're good at anymore

And sometimes I don't have the energy
To prove everybody wrong
And I try my best to be strong
But you know it's so hard
It's so hard

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard

It felt like a given
Something a woman's born to do
A natural ambition
To see a reflection of me and you

And I'd feel so guilty
If that was a gift I couldn't give
And could you be happy
If life wasn't how we pictured it

And sometimes I just want to wait it out
To prove everybody wrong
And I need your help to move on
Cause you know it's so hard
It's so hard

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
So hard

I can live for the moment
When all these clouds open up for me to see
And show me a vision
Of you and me swimming peacefully

Last night you told me
That you can't remember
How to feel free

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy, easy

It's so hard

  • You know, it's interesting you post this.  The lyrics are great.  I sometimes look at pictures of myself before all this struggle and think "what a lucky girl you were!"  I wish I could go back to thinking my future would be that simple...

    I do this all the time, too. Or I'll look at my H and I in our wedding pics and think, "If you only knew what struggles were ahead."

    These lyrics are great. Thanks for sharing, OP!
