Love shouldn’t be this hard Verse If it’s love it should come easy. Shouldn’t feel like it’s a chore. It should come to us like breathing. Like a glass of wine you pour. Pre chorus This is an uphill battle. I’m swimming against the tide. It makes me feel it’s futile. Makes me think why even try. Chorus I might as well be reaching Yes reaching for the stars. It shouldn’t be such a struggle Love shouldn’t be so hard. Verse If it’s love it should come easy. Shouldn’t be walls in the way. Should seem natural as breathing. Feel as warm as the sun’s rays. Pre chorus This is an uphill battle. I’m swimming against the tide. It makes me feel it’s futile. Makes me think why even try. Chorus I might as well be reaching Yes reaching for the stars. It shouldn’t be such a struggle Love shouldn’t be so hard. Bridge I feel like I’m working overtime. And there’s no pay off in sight. As if every conversation’s A chance to pick a fight. Pre chorus This is an uphill battle. I’m swimming against the tide. It makes me feel it’s futile. Makes me think why even try. Chorus I might as well be reaching Yes reaching for the stars. It shouldn’t be such a struggle Love shouldn’t be so hard.

I like it. It can probably stand as it is. However I was wondering if in the second verse of you could reverse the Should and shouldn't.
In V1 Line two is Shouldn't Line three is Should
I propose not to change what you are saying but in opposite fashion
line 2 say it with should line three say it with should'nt
Like I said it stands well as you wrote it. Just a suggestion.

This is definitely a lyric about the angst of trying to pursue a reluctant subject. At least this is what I get out of it. Don't very often give additional lyric suggestions because everybody has a reason for writing what they do, but I may make an exception here. This could take the form of trying your best to break down resistance. A verse could go something like this:
There is (or may there be) some passion heating up the atmosphere Could this be the time to overcome your fear The type of passion that can feed your soul And for the first time in a while make you feel whole
In addition, I truly believe that a lot of folks are having trouble heating up the said passion. We have, IMO, become way too uptight as a society. Even many married couples now only make love once in a blue moon. Quite the opposite of the time frame I grew up in right after "free love". Any ideas as to why this is happening would be very interesting to read.

I think there are too many distractions today that take couples away from each other. Too busy on the phone or binging on shows to actually spend quality time with one another.

I definitely feel this concept. As sad as this is it's a very viable, apropos statement and is damn colorful. Keep it going pal
