Hard Times Lyrics

Drawn to pseudo-purity

Looks barely more than 23

I entertain the revery that we could fool around

She says 'this one seems strange to me'

I tell you, Im a mystery

And if you're feeling inclined you can try to work it out

Its been hard times waiting here so long

Its been hard times waiting for the one

Its a hard life hiding from the sun

But you're so young

So run run run run run

And in this dream you have a smoke

i sit and tell my favourite jokes

and if you're feeling generous you'll try to crack a smile

And when it seems you start to care

Its at this point that I get scared

that if you knew me inside then you'd want to run a mile

It's been hard times waiting here so long

Its been hard times waiting for the one

Its a hard life blind to all the fun

And you're so young

So run run run run run

Never really known how to ask for help

After all thats passed, shouldve learnt it well

These stolen lines are from someone else

Hide behind their mask, cos I'm afraid to tell

If I can be everything you want

And this is how I hide

Hurts less to just lose you from the start

Ever since I was 23

Ive been stuck in a revery

Its easier than facing all of what this lifes about

But even in these crazy dreams it seems I still cannot succeed

Its time to try to try but I cant overcome my doubts

And its been hard times waiting here so long

And its been hard times waiting for the one

Its a hard life holding off the gun

And you're so young

So run run run run run

Never really known how to ask for help

After all thats passed, shouldve learnt it well

These broken lines were for someone else

Hide behind their mask, cos I'm afraid to tell
