Sometimes it's hard to like who I'm becoming
Sometimes it's hard to like who I've been before
But if you could spare the time I'd like to tell you something
Just a few quick words and I'm right back out the door
The hardest thing to live with
The hardest thing to live with
The hardest thing to live with
Is your potential
Is your potential
Is your potential
And your belief in me
Brother please don't you get me wrong here
Sister I don't mean to cause a fuss
I'm working now to keep from being unclear
Inspiring faith ain't the same as earning trust
The hardest thing to live with
The hardest thing to live with
The hardest thing to live with
Is your potential
Is your potential
Is your potential
Well I don't know
Where it goes
But I watch it yours and mine
Perhaps it burns
Or else it turns
To vinegar from wine
It's your potential
It's my potential
It's our potential
And all we're meant to
