The Hard Way Lyrics
Waking up worthless
Should’ve worked up the courage to kill myself
And did I deserve this?
The Mona Lisa that sits upon my shelf
I wasn’t privy to purpose
I wasn’t really the perfect candidate
A younger me would let it go to waste
My inhibitions are gone
I had to do it the hard way
And you were right all along
I was addicted to heartache
I was addicted to love and lies that I was sold
I’d rather die alone
Than have to live in the dark days
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I guess that I’m tired
Of looking for peace that I’ve been promised
The friends I admired
Have all grown up and turned to liars
They tell me they get it
The over-rehearsed “I’m doing fine”
Goodbye’s a lonely hill to have to climb
My inhibitions are gone
I had to do it the hard way
And you were right all along
I was addicted to heartache
I was addicted to love and lies that I was sold
I’d rather die alone
Than have to live in the dark days
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
My inhibitions are gone
I had to do it the hard way
And you were right all along
I was addicted to heartache
I was addicted to love and lies that I was sold
I’d rather die alone
Than have to live in the dark days
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
