Hard Way Lyrics

by Scott Stapp

So let me tell a story, friend
Of diamond hands and one night stands
I guess the good life paid you once or twice

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e124339-scott_stapp~hard_way_lyrics.html ]
Just when I thought I had it all
Caught a sucker punch and lost it all
Just never thought it would have come from you

So here I stand alone again
With one eye open - I'm a broken man
Life flashed before my eyes, but I'm alive

[Chorus]
I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

So what am I supposed to do
When all I've got, is God and you?
I guess I'll trust the one I can't see

As I sit here on this park bench
Knowing what you are thinking
I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep

So here I stand alone again
Talking to my faceless friend
At least when we've got words, theyre eye to eye

[Chorus x2]
I'm just a simple man -(Make it through)- (x3)
-(I'm just a simple man)- Make it through (x3)

[Chorus x2] ...The hard way, (x2)
