The Hard Way

One, two, three, four

Oh-oh-oh, please don't take this the hard way
We been takin' the hard way

Gotta clear my head and find that peace of mind
So delicate, I need to take my time
And I wait for an answer
But it never comes

No, I never got quite used to the idea
Of a world that still exists without you here
Where it starts and how it ends
Guess we never know the plan

Well, I left it all behind some secret door
In a place I used to go, but not no more
And I can't, can't compete with who I used to be

Please don't take this the hard way
We been takin' the hard way

You should know it wasn't you, but rather something stuck in me
And I never took for granted all your gifts and memories
And I swear that I'm fine
Gonna get it right this time

And I guess I loved it more than I could ever love myself
'Cause I left a real big part of me back there with someone else
When I look at all the reasons
They never make much sense at all

And there's nothing you can say to me that'll help me to forget
And I don't know when the time will come, but I know it ain't just yet
So I'll go out to find what it is I'm looking for
Oh, here I go out to find what it is I'm looking for, oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, we been takin' the hard way
