The Hard Way |
What a fall from Grace, what a cruel deceit, |
What a lack of love behind the sociopathy. |
Used me for your secrets, used me for some dimes, |
Breaking blood upon this single mother’s whipping hide, |
And this bitter wisdom makes me quiet and still. |
Peace and happiness, in our hearth and home, |
Just optimistic wishes from my blind and trusting hope. |
If only I had listened to that inner voice, |
I never would have carried out that people-pleasing choice. |
And this bitter wisdom makes me scared to trust again. |
I found out the hard way, I tasted the apple. |
Found out the hard way, abandoned the garden of innocence. |
Yes I walked the aisle to make a man of you, |
But those very papers brought me unexpected truth. |
Crawling back to zero, these lessons in my life, |
Bring me closer to the tender mortal life am I, |
And this sober wisdom brings silver linings to light. |
I found out the hard way, I tasted the apple, |
Found out the hard way, I played in the lightning, |
Found out the hard way by pushing the boundaries, |
Found out the hard way, abandoned the garden of innocence. |
Found out the hard way, discovered a backbone, |
Found out the hard way, I learned to love myself, |
Found out the hard way, the payment for freedom, |
Found out the hard way, abandoned the garden of innocence. |
