This is gonna be harder than I thought
The cost is gonna be higher than I bargained for.
The sun sets on another day, but the hurt won't fade away.
Gettin' back up is harder than the fall.
Drivin' 'round, in my old familiar town
trying to find a place to hide my heart.
I was passin' time, between midnight trains and neon signs, tellin' my story, of how I tore our love apart.
Just the other day, I said I just can't cope, so I walked away, You said, hold on a little longer, it'll be ok, now I'm fightin' back strong trying to right my wrong. You're movin' on, you're movin' on and,
This is gonna be harder than I thought
The cost is gonna be higher than I bargained for.
The sun sets on another day, but the hurt won't fade away.
Gettin' back up is harder than the fall.
I tried to find a different love from yours and mine,
strugglin' with the thought of starting over again,
I was lost and in pain, so much sadness and shame,
it's time to look at myself and try to see what's left,
Oh, I can see, to you we're almost history.
How did we throw us away so carelessly?
Can two broken hearts be whole? Wonder how far we can go, we may never know, we may never know and,
This is gonna be harder than I thought
The cost is gonna be higher than I bargained for.
The sun sets on another day, but the hurt won't fade away.
Gettin' back up is harder than the fall.
Oh you know, the sun sets on another day, but the hurt won't go away.
Gettin' back up is harder than the fall.
