THE HARD WAY

How do you know a shoe don't fit if you don't get to try it on?

Change your mind 'til you find the one

How do you know you got it right unless you go and get it wrong?

Twenty-three, that was me with us

But here you are in an airport bar

Can I clear the air yet? Have we made it there yet?

Lovin' you's what I had to do

'Til I had to walk away 'cause

I thought that I could change

But you and I aren't built the same

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (The hard way)

Went lookin' for the truth

Found findin' me meant losin' you

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way

Remember when we took the train a hundred blocks out of the way

So we could talk and you could walk me home

You told me I could take forever because I was worth the wait

That was love, I fucked it up, I know

But here we are at an airport bar

Laughin' like we used to, god, I really missed you

Breakin' you nearly broke me too

Now, all that I can say is

I thought that I could change

But you and I aren't built the same

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (The hard way)

Went lookin' for the truth

Found findin' me meant losin' you

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way

The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way

But here you are in an airport bar

Can I clear the air yet? Have we made it there yet?

Lovin' you's what I had to do

'Til I had to walk away 'cause (Yeah, yeah)

I thought that I could change

But you and I aren't built the same

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (The hard way)

Went lookin' for the truth

Found findin' me meant losin' you

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (The hard way)

The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way
