Cold Hard Ground Lyrics

There were things you thought you knew

That always would be true

Like grown ups never lie

And there's something in the sky

Now you know what it's all about

We meant no harm, but you found out

Took your doubts and lay them out upon the cold hard ground

Way back when you were new

He did everything with you

He promised that he'd care for you and love you every day

Now I'm wrapped up warm, and summer's passed

You're not running quite as fast

You were side by side until the last

When you lay down upon the cold hard ground

It's time for you to say

This might not end okay

You did the miles you made the thing

But noone seems to care

You can lick your wounds and wish you'd known

Before you spent your seeds all sown

And discovered nothing could be grown upon the cold hard ground

The air is getting thin

And the nights are drawing in

And this winter shows no mercy biting down upon your skin

Who'd have dreamed your life would be so cheap

In every lonely tear you weep

As you try to settle down to sleep upon the cold hard ground

You can tell he's not okay

But he'd never ever say

And you tell yourself you know him

Lying beside him as he sleeps

Something happened years ago

That he can't ever let you know

The secrets that he buried deep below the cold hard ground

It don't care about your money

Don't care about your fame

Don't care about your reasons

Don't care who's to blame

It's lonely

So lonely

It's lonely

So lonely

You said i have to learn

That the good times will return

We're stood inside the promise of a garden in the sun

Let's build our home upon this land

And break the surface with our hands

And build our love's foundations in the cold hard ground

I'm not nearly through

There's so much more to do with you

You know I want to see

Everything that you will be

I know there's time left in our song

But know of us know quite how long

But I'll listen to you when I'm gone

Beneath the cold hard ground

It's lonely

So lonely

It's lonely

So lonely
