The Hard Way Testo

I been, I been, I been
I been dodging fires for the sake of feelin'
I been chasing,  chasing
Chasing all this high so I could crash the ceiling
I been restless, tempted to pull every devil way down
I took it so low and at that time I had no way out

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"

When the bottom hit my soul
I had to climb up all alone
When the night shone down my hope
I had to find the light to hold
You gotta pray 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

Turnin', turnin', turnin'
Turnin' every corner 'cause my heart was yearning
For something more than 4am
This open 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

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"

When the bottom hit my soul
I had to climb up all alone
When the night shone down my hope
I had to find the light to hold
You gotta pray 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

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
Hard times were 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)
Hard times were what I found

When the bottom hit my soul
I had to climb up all alone
When the night shone down my hope
I had to find the light to hold
You gotta pray just a little
Die just a little
To come alive in the right way
Sometimes to get hope you gotta go
The hard way
