Cline Dion — The Hard Way

[Verse 1] I been, I been, I been I been touching fires for the sake of feelin' I been chasing,  chasing Chasing all these highs so I could crash the ceiling I been restless, tempted to follow every devil way down I took it so low and at the time, it looked like no way out [Pre-Chorus] I had to see Try to believe I write my story and this ain't how it's ending Said to myself, said to myself "This ain't how I'm gonna go down" [Chorus] When the bottom hit my soul I had to climb up all alone When the night shut down my hope I had to find a light to hold You gotta break just a little, die just a little To come alive in the right way And sometimes to get home you gotta go The hard way, hard way [Verse 2] Turnin', turnin', turnin' Turnin' every corner 'cause my heart was yearning For something more than 4 AM Messed up in bed, no, I don't miss that feeling I don't see a reason Chasing love down a dead end But see the truth is I wouldn't know that unless I did [Pre-Chorus] I had to see Try to believe I write my story and this ain't how it's ending Said to myself, said to myself "This ain't how I'm gonna go down" [Chorus] When the bottom hit my soul I had to climb up all alone When the night shut down my hope I had to find a light to hold You gotta break just a little, die just a little To come alive in the right way And sometimes to get home you gotta go The hard way [Bridge] I wouldn't know what I'm made of If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out) As long as it took me to get here The hard times were worth what I found (I found) I wouldn't know what I'm made of (I wouldn't know) If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out) As long as it took me to get here (To get here) The hard times were worth what I found [Chorus] When the bottom hit my soul I had to climb up all alone When the night shut down my hope I had to find a light to hold You gotta break just a little, die just a little To come alive in the right way And sometimes to get home you gotta go The hard way
