It's a reoccurring theme
I'm left standing whilst you get the girl
I was new to the game
And up for the fight
And I was willing to learn
The hard way, for you
The hard way, for you
That's a record for me
I never held my temper so tight
You were prowling that room
I took the sharp objects from you
Cos you were willing to fight
The hard way, for me
The hard way, for me
Life was fluid, time seemed slower
The light hypnotised, words poetic
We were lovers, we all bleed the same
We all bleed the same
So let your story begin
We all have our darkness
And we all have our sins
What keeps you awake
Is what gives you the strength
We end up learning the same
The hard way, the same
The hard way, the same
No one remembers
Whilst under the pressure
But somehow you do it
The hard way
You can crunch all the numbers
And treat it like business
But somehow you take it
The hard way
You can kiss it and love it
But don't take it for granted
Cos someone will take it
The hard way
The hard way
The hard way
