THE HARD WAY

How do you know a shoe don't fit if you don't get to try it on? Change your mind 'til you find the one How do you know you got it right unless you go and get it wrong? 23, that was me with us But here you are at an airport bar Can I clear the air yet? Have we made it there yet? Loving you is what I had to do 'Til I had to walk away, 'cause- I thought that I could change But you and I aren't built the same I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (the hard way) When looking for the truth Found finding me meant losing you I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way Remember when we took the train a hundred blocks out of the way? So we could talk and you could walk me home You told me I could take forever because I was worth the wait That was love, I fucked it up, I know But here we are at an airport bar Laughing like we used to God, I really missed you Breaking you nearly broke me too Now all that I can say is I thought that I could change But you and I aren't built the same I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (the hard way) When looking for the truth Found finding me meant losing you I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way The hard way, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah The hard way, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah The hard way, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way But here you are at an airport bar Can I clear the air yet? Have we made it there yet? Loving you is what I had to do Too hard to walk away (yeah-yeah) I thought that I could change But you and I aren't built the same I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (the hard way, I learned the hard way) When looking for the truth Found finding me meant losing you I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way The hard way, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah The hard way, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah The hard way, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way
