The Hard Way (Demo)

We live our life telling a story

Of what we've said and done

But lately you caused me to worry

That you're spinning fiction

One look in your eyes reveals a lifetime

Of anger and pain

I see because I've been down that hole and

I made it back again

Why do we keep on living this way

Why do we keep on making the same mistakes

I know we've tried to do it right

But we've gotta learn the hard way

He drains the life and leaves his poison

On every flower he sees

It took me so long to figure out that

He was doing the same to me

Now you want to try to understand him

By playing his game

You're a butterfly, why would you choose to become

Another moth to the flame?

Why do we keep on living this way

Why do we keep on making the same mistakes

I know we've tried to do it right

But we've gotta learn the hard way

How hard we tried

You showed us that we don't matter

You can watch it die or

Save yourself from being bitter

Why do we keep on living this way

Why do we keep on making the same mistakes

I know we've tried to do it right

But we've gotta learn the hard way
