Lyrics The Hard Way - Frankie

The Hard Way

Those summer days were one long holiday
We grew up, roots were laid, the wind blew, we would sway
I said I had feelings and you felt them too
So in springtime, we bloomed but in fall we fell too
Mmh, we fell too
Our troubles started
Like weeds in the garden
They blossomed till it was too late
If we picked 'em sooner
We might have a future
I learned that the hard way
Yes, I learned that the hard way
I was so green, was so young, so naive
Thinking you’d stand forever, my strong giving tree
But your branches fell, and a bundle of cells
Grew like ivy inside you but we couldn’t tell
Our troubles started
Like weeds in the garden
They sprouted till it was too late
If I picked 'em off
Yeah, I might not have lost
Yeah, I learned that the hard way
Yes, I learned that the hard way
Our troubles started
Like weeds in the garden
They blossomed till it was too late
If you pick 'em early
You don’t have to worry
I learned that the hard way
Yes, I learned that the hard way
Oh, I learned that the hard way
