Paula Cole - The Hard Way lyrics

[Paula Cole - The Hard Way lyrics]

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 the 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
