About Hard Enough Getting over You

"Hard Enough Getting Over You" is a song written by Michael Bolton and Doug James. It was first recorded by Cher for her 1987 self-titled album. In 1993, Laura Branigan released a cover of the song, retitled "It's Been Hard Enough Getting Over You", as the second single from her final studio album Over My Heart. Branigan promoted the release with several television appearances including an interview on Good Day L. A. where she also performed the song live. However, despite this the song, along with the other two singles and the album itself, was largely overlooked by critics and the general public.

For the first time, in such a long time
I've been feelin' there's some reason
To hold on through the night
And for the first time since you broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin'
It's really gonna be alright
Now you're askin' me to let you walk back into my life
Something I can't bring myself to do

'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye again
I could trust you, but it's out of my hands

I once believed your promises
Believed in every word you said
I still love you but my heart won't take the chance
That all the pain I've left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead
Just remember it was you who walked right out of my life

No you don't know what I've been through
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye

I made a promise to myself
And this one I'm not gonna break

I've made it without you, and I'm not about to
Just turn around and make the same mistake
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you

I don't think that I could say goodbye
I don't think I could say goodbye
I know that I can't say goodbye again
