Hard Times, Go!
Are you headed for somewhere?
Are you running away?
Do you call it religion?
Or a game that you play?
Now the summer is over
See the leaves turning brown
Do you feel like a failure?
Did your dreams let you down?
Hard times come and hard times go
Its hard to change when its all you know
I don't say the things I need to say to let you in
I haven't been as brave in how I've loved you
As I know I should have been
I thought if I kept quiet
You might think I was strong
And now that its over
I can see I was wrong
When the parachute opens
Is it fun anymore?
Are you more scared of falling?
Or just being bored?
Our love was a promise
That we made in good faith
And it all seemed so perfect
But the circumstance changed
So I spend my days in a fever dream
In a lakeside town with the kings and queens
I don't say the things I need to say to let you in
I haven't been courageous in my love
the way I know I should have been
I thought if I kept quiet
You might think I was strong
And now that its over
I can see I was wrong
