Hardway (remix) Lyrics

Hardway (remix)

Some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has to
find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway,
Father I'm on my knees
and I'm crying for help

Now I've been high and I've been low
I've
been some places that you will not go
I never thought there would come the
day
When I wished I never would've lived this way
But I've been searching
for a long, long time
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
I turned
my back on everything that was true
And wasted years that belong to
you

(repeat chorus)

It took so long for me to see
That I'm a
victim of nature and me
Left to myself I realize
I am the maker of my own
demise
But you accept me every time and again
And never mention just how
selfish I've been
Why must it always take me so long to see
That I have
fallen but you will forgive me?

(repeat chorus 2x)

The warning
signs are like flares in the night
Still I proceed my greed is in
spite
Of the fire I know that's bound to burn
Why is it that I always
gotta learn
The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
The
hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
