The Hard Way

[00:05.09] "The Hard Way"

[00:15.98] I've been, I've been, I've been

[00:18.63] I've been touching fires for the sake of feelin'

[00:22.35] I've been chasing, chasing

[00:24.76] Chasing all these highs so I could crash the ceiling

[00:28.78] I've been restless, tempted to follow every devil way down

[00:35.15] I took it so low and at the time it looked like no way out

[00:40.46] I had to see

[00:41.79] Try to believe

[00:43.38] I write my story and this ain't how it's ending

[00:46.57] Said to myself

[00:47.90] Said to myself, "This ain't how I'm gonna go down"

[00:53.21] When the bottom hit my soul

[00:55.87] I had to climb up all alone

[00:59.32] When the nights shut down my hope

[01:01.98] I had to find a light to hold

[01:05.43] You gotta break just a little

[01:07.82] Die just a little

[01:09.17] To come alive in the right way

[01:11.82] And sometimes to get home you gotta go

[01:15.01] The hard way, hard way

[01:21.12] Turnin', turnin', turnin'

[01:23.51] Turnin' every corner 'cause my heart was yearning

[01:27.23] For something more than 4am

[01:30.15] This open bed, oh, I don't miss that feeling

[01:33.34] I don't see a reason

[01:36.00] Chasing love down a dead end

[01:39.71] But see the truth is

[01:41.84] I wouldn't know that unless I did

[01:45.02] I had to see

[01:46.35] Try to believe

[01:47.95] I write my story and this ain't how it's ending

[01:51.14] Said to myself

[01:52.46] Said to myself, "This ain't how I'm gonna go down"

[01:57.78] When the bottom hit my soul

[02:00.43] I had to climb up all alone

[02:03.88] When the nights shut down my hope

[02:06.27] I had to find a light to hold

[02:10.26] You gotta break just a little

[02:12.38] Die just a little

[02:13.98] To come alive in the right way

[02:16.64] And sometimes to get home you gotta go

[02:22.48] The hard way

[02:25.68] I wouldn't know what I'm made of

[02:28.08] If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out)

[02:31.26] As long as it took me to get here

[02:34.45] Hard times were worth what I found (I found)

[02:37.64] I wouldn't know what I'm made of (I wouldn't know)

[02:40.56] If I took the easy way out (took the easy way out)

[02:43.74] As long as it took me to get here (to get here)

[02:46.93] Hard times were worth what I found

[02:49.59] When the bottom hit my soul

[02:50.91] I had to climb up all alone

[02:54.63] When the nights shut down my hope

[02:57.56] I had to find a light to hold

[03:01.27] You gotta break just a little

[03:03.14] Die just a little

[03:04.73] To come alive in the right way

[03:07.92] And sometimes to get home you gotta go

[03:15.35] The hard way
