Waking up worthless Should've worked up the courage to kill myself And did I deserve this? The Mona Lisa that sits upon my shelf I wasn't privy to purpose I wasn't really the perfect candidate A younger me would let it go to waste My inhibitions are gone I had to do it the hard way And you were right all along I was addicted to heartache I was addicted to love and lies that I was sold I'd rather die alone Than have to live in the dark days I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way I guess that I'm tired Of looking for peace that I've been promised The friends I admired Have all grown up and turned to liars They tell me they get it The over-rehearsed "I'm doing fine" Goodbye's a lonely hill to have to climb My inhibitions are gone I had to do it the hard way And you were right all along I was addicted to heartache I was addicted to love and lies that I was sold I'd rather die alone Than have to live in the dark days I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way My inhibitions are gone I had to do it the hard way And you were right all along I was addicted to heartache I was addicted to love and lies that I was sold I'd rather die alone Than have to live in the dark days I had to do it the hard way I had to do it the hard way
