The Hard Way

Here I sit once again

Im missing you like crazy baby

Ive screwed up again and again

Keep making the same mistakes

Dont wanna be an old man

With nothing figured out yet baby

I gotta start some time soon

I wish I never hurt you

I wish I never hurt you

Im doing the best I can

Living like any man

My father used to say to me he said

While youre young,

You gotta learn the hard way, son

I cant call you up to talk

I know youre moving on now baby

Youve learnt to steer real clear

Of guys that resemble me now

But dont I know Im on my own

Its all about decisions baby

This was the ultimate test

Once again I failed myself

And I failed you too

And it hurts like hell

Im doing the best I can

Living like any man

My father used to say it to me he said

While youre young,

You gotta learn the hard way, son

(its the only way youre gonna learn)
