The Hard Way
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.
Come with me/ let me walk you thru the world that i currently stay in
You can take a look around and tell me if i'm mistaken
You can meet and talk to/ everybody that i live with
Maybe you can tell me why everybody's so distant
Is it me or maybe/ when i look around dayly
I don't even know the people i can put my trust in lately
People that i used to hang with/ now they're acting so different
I'm still the same person why doesn't anybody listen
Can somebody please/ just explain to me
What happen to the way that we always said we'd be
Right now i don't know why i pushed through the pain that i got through
And i'm losing hope
Deafening voices/ that frequency inside my head
That says/ i'm going at it the hard way
I focus/ get everything inside out of my brain
That claims/ i'm going at it the hard way
Come with me/ let me walk you thru that i currently live in
Not a thing is forgotten/ not a thing is forgiven
Nobody can hold their own underneath the weight but
Nobody can take the blame for their own mistakes so
What do you do when somebody lets you down
And you wanna say something but you can't cause they're not around
Inside you thing the know the extent of the pain
But they wont even admit that they were the one to blame
Can somebody please/ just explain to me
What happenend to the way we always said we'd be
Cause right now i don't know why i pushed through the pain that i got through
And i'm losing hope
Gimme one reson not to
