Hardcore
The trouble with you is you're nothing but trouble
You've got two faces, am I seeing double
Slipping down the champagne gutter
Thinking that you're free
You don't need anyone
You don't want anything It's easy to be
Hard like the rain that falls when you're crying
Hard like the pain that you're mainlining
You're hard like the truth that you're always denying
You're hard...hardcore
You flash your grin
Brutal pretension
Ulterior motives swallow your good intentions
Dig down deep, well you come up empty
But that's okay, nothing's always free
You don't need anyone
You don't want anything It's easy to be
Hard like the rain that falls when you're crying
Hard like the pain that you're mainlining
You're hard like the truth that you're always denying
You're hard...hardcore
Don't let the past break down tomorrow
Let it go, let go of your sorrow
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go!
The trouble with you is you're nothing but trouble
You don't need anyone
You don't want anything It's easy to be
Hard like the rain that falls when you're crying
You're hard like the pain that you're mainlining
You're hard like the truth that you're still denying
You're hard like the love that you're crucifying
You're hard...hard...hard...hardcore
