"Hard Way" lyrics

Stupid cheap excuses
Paper-thin goodbyes
I don't know why I do this
It happens every time

The devil on my shoulder
Says maybe one more try
And I know he's from hell but
Hell he might be right

So here we go
Down this old familiar road
And we both know
Where it goes
Where it goes
But

Sometimes you have to touch the flame to know it burns
Sometimes you have to fall in love to know it hurts
And somebody told me once that hearts were made to break
And sometimes the only medicine is in the pain
Yeah some things you just have to learn the hard way

We drew a line between us
It's invisible ink
I try so hard to leave this
But you can't fight gravity

So here we go
Down this old familiar road
And we both know
Where it goes
Where it goes
But

Sometimes you have to touch the flame to know it burns
Sometimes you have to fall in love to know it hurts
Somebody told me once that hearts were made to break
Sometimes the only medicine is in the pain
Yeah some things you just have to learn the hard way

Oh, when will we both learn our lesson
And end this
Oh when will we both get the message
I guess that

Sometimes you have to touch the flame to know it burns
Sometimes you have to fall in love to know it hurts
Somebody told me once that hearts were made to break
And sometimes the only medicine is in the pain
Yeah some things you have to learn things the hard way
