"Hard Life" lyrics

Send for him 64
He have a rough childhood as well
What was with him being the only black kid used to be up there
It used to be rough but he used to fight it out
He was a ruffian

Tried to move on, but got motion sick
It's hard to forget when the dark days hit
It's cruel, remember the things I didn't do
And a dark day hits once more
In disbelief at the depth of the skies
Can't open my eyes
Nothing holding me down, yet there's weight inside
Reminds me I'm actually thinking
I've been thinking 'bout the future
Feeling things I didn't used to
I was free, not before but after my fall
Free to believe in words I didn't mean
Just to get by
I'd rather that than to cry
It's a hard life

It's a hard life
It's a hard life
You make me happy

Straw that broke the camel's back
Don't think I can live with that
Always seem to fall
Harder than before
I'm bruised when it's buried, I'm cut when it's open
I don't think the end is near, but here's hoping
A sign, it woke you last time
But the learning is making you stronger
A little longer, I've been waiting
All this shit's so frustrating
I was free, not anymore
Tasting things from before
I tried to believe in words I didn't mean
Just to get by
I'd rather that than to cry
It's a hard life

It's a hard life
It's a hard life
You make me happy

Straw that broke the camel's back
Don't think I can live with that
Always seem to fall
Harder than before

It's a hard life
It's a hard life
You make me happy
