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 sat there while you plead your case

For confidence and secrets to be erased

(I was riddled by your words)

I bet that you could hardly wait

To send the cavalry for me your

Subtlety looked great with scorn

My father told me don't forget who you are.

When you're one step from death

You'll step back or you'll starve.

My strength deceived me, I thought I'd own the word.

But this fool I've become, can't see straight to forget her

The loneliness of loving someone could steal your eyes

And spill the hope you had and

You're left to spend the words by yourself

And no one else, no one else (no one else)

The trust you handed over, the people that you hurt,

But you could never stop yourself, an addict for the worst

What you felt were lies they sell, nothing else (nothing else)

So I sit here making my big plans,

Like they could rescue me,

But now I see the answer through

My window (that nothing can replace)

Those memories my father gave me are all that's left,

But I'm ready to escape this life

The loneliness of loving someone could steal your eyes

And spill the hope you had and you're left to spend the words by yourself

And no one else, no one else (no one else).

The trust you handed over, the people that you hurt,

But you could never stop yourself, an addict for the worst

What you felt were lies they sell, nothing else (nothing else).

I'm sorry for the words I couldn't say

I'm sorry that your efforts were in vain

You were promised so much more than I have gave

I'm not an honest man. I was born for the grave

The loneliness of loving someone could steal your eyes

And spill the hope you had and you're left

To spend the words by yourself

And no one else, no one else (no one else).

The trust you handed over, the people that you hurt,

But you could never stop yourself, an addict for the worst

What you felt were lies they sell, nothing else (nothing else)
