The Hard Way

Please don't take this the hard way

We been takin' the hard way

Gotta clear my head and find that peace of mind

So delicate, I need to take my time

And I wait for an answer

But it never comes

No, I never got quite used to the idea

Of a world that still exists without you here

Where it starts and how it ends

Guess we never know the plan

Well, I left it all behind some secret door

In a place I used to go but not no more

And I can't, can't compete with who I used to be

Please don't take this the hard way

We been takin' the hard way

You should know it wasn't you but rather something stuck in me

And I never took for granted all your gifts and memories

And I swear that I'm fine

Gonna get it right this time

And I guess I loved it more than I could ever love myself

'Cause I left a real big part of me back there with someone else

When I look at all the reasons

They never make much sense at all

And there's nothing you can say to me that'll help me to forget

And I don't know when the time will come, but I know it ain't just yet

So I'll go out to find what it is I'm looking for

Oh, here I go out to find what is I'm looking for, oh

We been takin' the hard way
