I took you to the train
Stupid shit you just play
I took the pictures in my head
You look like a skeleton a little dressy thing
You just didn't care
You're all getting drunk instead
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know
The state of what you've got
It's a dizzy hot and just damn forgot
Stay well away from trouble that you caused
Using all your strength to keep the world at an arm's length
And I get upset that something was lost
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know
I'm a glad reflection of you
I can't make corrections for you
You have to help to patch things up
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know
No
