harder than it needs to be

honey please don't laugh at everything i say 
in a humorless way 
honey please don't roll your eyes around 
just to put me down 
it's exactly as hard to talk to you 
as it is to talk to me 
let's not make this harder 
than it needs to be 

i know i married your mama
and i married your papa 
when i married you 
and right now it's clear 
who i'm talking to 
we better just step back 
we better take a breath 
see what we can see 
let's not make this harder 
than it needs to be
