The Hard Way

Wakin′ up worthless

Should've worked up the courage to kill myself

And did I deserve this?

The Mona Lisa that sits upon my shelf

I wasn′t privy to purpose

I wasn't really the perfect candidate

A younger me would let it go to waste

My inhibitions are gone

I had to do it the hard way

And you were right all along

I was addicted to heartache

I was addicted to loving lies that I was sold

I'd rather die alone than have to live in the dark days

I had to do it the hard way

I had to do it the hard way

I guess that I′m tired

Of lookin′ for peace that I've been promised

The friends I admired

Have all grown up and turned to liars

They tell me they get it

The over-rehearsed "I′m doing fine"

Goodbye's a lonely hill to have to climb

My inhibitions are gone

I had to do it the hard way

And you were right all along

I was addicted to heartache

I was addicted to loving lies that I was sold

I′d rather die alone than have to live in the dark days

I had to do it the hard way

I had to do it the hard way

(You were right to say I was wrong)

(You were right) I had to do it the hard way

I had to do it the hard way

I had to do it the hard way

(You were right to say I was wrong)

(You were right) I had to do it the hard way

I had to do it the hard way

My inhibitions are gone

I had to do it the hard way

And you were right all along

I was addicted to heartache

I was addicted to loving lies that I was sold

I'd rather die alone than have to live in the dark days

I had to do it the hard way

I had to do it the hard way
