Hard Act To Follow

I've heard this story told before

A hundred times, or maybe more

And its not ever gonna change

You've gone and torn yourself in two

Enough for everyone, but you

Now you're just getting in the way

You were a hard act to follow

But now you're making your lines up as you go

You put it off for tomorrow

When you close your eyes

To get back to what you're used to

Now all the time that we share

And every long distance stare

Its hard to find a reason

To put this back together

And every day that goes by

And every flag that you fly

Its hard to find a reason

To put this back together again

Oh darling, here we go again

Your world is coming to an end

Sit back and watch the sky fall down

You've only given second best,

Second hand, and second guessed

And you're pushing everyone around

Remember the days

You put your heart on your sleeve

And it all worked out

But you sat on your hands

Expecting every demand

And you learned what crying's about
