(chorus) |
|
Some people gotta learn the hardway |
|
I guess i'm the kinda guy |
|
That has to find out for myself |
|
I had to learn the hardway, father |
|
I'm on my knees and i'm crying for help |
|
Now i've been high and i've been low |
|
I've been some places that you will not go |
|
I never thought there would come the day |
|
When i wished i never would've lived this way |
|
But i've been searching for a long, long time |
|
I thought the devil was a friend of mine |
|
I turned my back on everything that was true |
|
And wasted years that belong to you |
|
(repeat chorus) |
|
It took so long for me to see |
|
That i'm a victim of nature and me |
|
Left to myself i realize |
|
I am the maker of my own demise |
|
But you accept me every time and again |
|
And never mention just how selfish i've been |
|
Why must it always take me so long to see |
|
That i have fallen but you will forgive me? |
|
(repeat chorus 2x) |
|
The warning signs are like flares in the night |
|
Still i proceed my greed is in spite of the fire |
|
I know that's bound to burn |
|
Why is it that i always gotta learn... |
|
The hardway, the hardway, i had to learn the hardway |
|
The hardway, the hardway, i had to learn the hardway |
