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
