"Harder Than The Hard Stuff" lyrics

Cocaine and alcohol
Lord knows I've tried it all
I've toed the line and turned and walked away
Had my share of wilder times
Lost some days to three day nights
And I've always seemed to turn it all around

But the silence of this empty place
Is breaking me in brand-new ways
All strung out and there ain't no relief
Never had hard time walking away
But damn you've got a hold on me
I'm dry and drowning in your memory
No, I never knew that quitting you would be
So much harder than the hard stuff

I can flush the drink and percocets
And brace myself for the shakes and sweats
A couple weeks I'm right back on my feet
But just one hit of your perfume
Brings me right on back to you
Ain't no drug I've found that can compare

Cause the silence of this empty place
Is breaking me in all new ways
I'm all strung out and there ain't no relief
Never had hard time walking away
But damn you've got a hold on me
I'm dry and drowning in your memory
No, I never knew that quitting you would be
So much harder than the hard stuff

The silence of this empty place
Is breaking me in a whole new way
All strung out and there ain't no relief
Never had hard time walking away
But god damn you've got a hold on me
I'm dry and drowning in your memory
I never knew that quitting you would be
I never knew that quitting you would be
So much harder than the hard stuff
Harder than the hard stuff
Oh, no

The silence of this empty place
Is breaking me in a whole new way
I never knew that quitting you would be
So much harder than the hard stuff
