THE HARD WAY
[Verse 1]
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?
Twenty-three, that was me with us

[Pre-Chorus]
But here you are in an airport bar
Can I clear the air yet? Have we made it there yet?
Lovin' you's what I had to do
'Til I had to walk away 'cause

[Chorus]
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)
Went lookin' for the truth
Found findin' me meant losin' you
I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way

[Verse 2]
Remember when we took the train a hundred blocks out of thе way
So we could talk and you could walk me home
You told mе I could take forever because I was worth the wait
That was love, I fucked it up, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
But here we are at an airport bar
Laughin' like we used to, god, I really missed you
Breakin' you nearly broke me too
Now, all that I can say is

[Chorus]
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)
Went lookin' for the truth
Found findin' me meant losin' you
I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But here you are in an airport bar
Can I clear the air yet? Have we made it there yet?
Lovin' you's what I had to do
'Til I had to walk away 'cause (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
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)
Went lookin' for the truth
Found findin' me meant losin' you
I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way (The hard way)

[Post-Chorus]
The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The hard way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm sorry that I had to learn the hard way
