The Hard Way Lyrics

All along

I thought I had it figured out

I was wrong

Was missing out what it's about

And when the truth of life

Came to light and it took me to my knees

The hardest part of every day is reality

When the truth of life comes to light

It'll take you to your knees

The hardest part is letting go, you'll see

And I wish that I had known

About the things I'd face

But honestly what difference

Would it have made

I think that I'd have made

All of the same mistakes

And the truth of life

Taught me the hard way

I can't rewind

All the time that's passed us by

Why would I

We can't move on looking behind

And when the truth of life

Came to light we discovered what was real

Terrified that all this time

We couldn't even feel

I hate the truth of life

I'd rather fight

Save us from this world I plead

Just for a day, just for a moment please

And I wish that I had known

About the things I'd face

But honestly what difference

Would it have made

I think that I'd have made

All of the same mistakes

And the truth of life

Taught me the hard way

Looking out, it's hard to see

All the good that's supposed to be

But I can't, and I will not look away

I reset, I change my mind

I'm looking out though I was blind

That was then, this is now

I see the way

And I wish that I had known

About the things I'd face

But honestly what difference

Would it have made

I think that I'd have made

All of the same mistakes

And the truth of life

Taught me the hard way

And the truth of life

Taught me the hard way
