Lyrics

[Intro]
Please don't take this the hard way
We been takin' the hard way
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
Please don't take this the hard way
We been takin' the hard way
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Bridge]
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 is I'm looking for, oh
[Outro]
We been takin' the hard way
