Lyrics
Hard Times
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I look around me and, I discover
Everyone's life's in a mess
We're all looking for the perfect lover
But most of us are willing
To settle for less (in these)
Hard times for hearts that need, hard times indeed
Hard times for hearts that need, hard times indeed
I watch the girls
Watch them selves in the mirror
I guess they've got nothing better to do
In their faces a trace of the fear
Or the certainty that happiness
Is just for the few (in these)
Hard times for hearts that need, hard times indeed
Hard times for hearts that need, hard times indeed
So let them live inside their illusions
I've got something else to pull me through
You are the one who helps me lose this confusion
And gives me something
To hold onto (in these)
Hard times for hearts that need, hard times indeed
Hard times for hearts that need, hard times indeed
(Hard times for hearts that need, hard times indeed)
