Hard Way Down
Well I rarely made a promise I knew I couldn't keep
I didn't make too many promises, I stayed light on my feet
Now that freedom's gettin heavy
I feel the time in my bones
Yea, people try to love you, everybody does their best
Sometimes it felt to me like pressure, kept my cards to my vest
So if the night's gettin lonely, well, its no one's fault but my own
And it's a hard way down when you're just hangin on
Its a hard way down when all your friends are gone
A hard way down to nothing but you
I was hungry for distractions, I kept em coming fast
I didn't stop to read the captions, had my foot on the gas
But their ain't much life in living when you can't remember your nights
And you can't go on forever, when you catch up with yourself
There ain't a whole lot of shelter in the stories that you tell
To keep yourself believing you didn't know wrong from right
And it's a hard way down when you're just hangin on, trying to play it so cool
It's a hard way down when all your friends are gone, and no one left to call you a fool
It's a long way up when you come back down, and you've darkened every room in the town
A hard way down to nothing but you
Oh it's never come easy for me to be alone with just thoughts in my mind
And sometimes it feels like the wolves are closing on my path
And there's no way of getting back again
And it's a hard way down when you're just hangin on, trying to play it so cool
It's a hard way down when all your friends are gone, and no one left to call you a fool
It's a long way up when you come back down, and you've darkened every room in the town
A hard way down to nothing but you
And you can't go on forever, when you catch up with yourself
There ain't a whole lot of shelter in the stories that you tell
To keep yourself believing you didn't know wrong from right
I didn't make too many promises, I stayed light on my feet
Now that freedom's gettin heavy
I feel the time in my bones
Yea, people try to love you, everybody does their best
Sometimes it felt to me like pressure, kept my cards to my vest
So if the night's gettin lonely, well, its no one's fault but my own
And it's a hard way down when you're just hangin on
Its a hard way down when all your friends are gone
A hard way down to nothing but you
I was hungry for distractions, I kept em coming fast
I didn't stop to read the captions, had my foot on the gas
But their ain't much life in living when you can't remember your nights
And you can't go on forever, when you catch up with yourself
There ain't a whole lot of shelter in the stories that you tell
To keep yourself believing you didn't know wrong from right
And it's a hard way down when you're just hangin on, trying to play it so cool
It's a hard way down when all your friends are gone, and no one left to call you a fool
It's a long way up when you come back down, and you've darkened every room in the town
A hard way down to nothing but you
Oh it's never come easy for me to be alone with just thoughts in my mind
And sometimes it feels like the wolves are closing on my path
And there's no way of getting back again
And it's a hard way down when you're just hangin on, trying to play it so cool
It's a hard way down when all your friends are gone, and no one left to call you a fool
It's a long way up when you come back down, and you've darkened every room in the town
A hard way down to nothing but you
And you can't go on forever, when you catch up with yourself
There ain't a whole lot of shelter in the stories that you tell
To keep yourself believing you didn't know wrong from right
