The Hardway – D.C. Talk – letras

(chorus)Some people gotta learn the hardwayI guess I’m the kinda guyThat has to find out for myselfI had to learn the hardway, FatherI’m on my knees and I’m crying for helpNow I’ve been high and I’ve been lowI’ve been some places that you will not goI never thought there would come the dayWhen I wished I never would’ve lived this wayBut I’ve been searching for a long, long timeI thought the devil was a friend of mineI turned my back on everything that was trueAnd wasted years that belong to you(repeat chorus)It took so long for me to seeThat I’m a victim of nature and meLeft to myself I realizeI am the maker of my own demiseBut you accept me every time and againAnd never mention just how selfish I’ve beenWhy must it always take me so long to seeThat I have fallen but you will forgive me?(repeat chorus 2x)The warning signs are like flares in the nightStill I proceed my greed is in spite of the fireI know that’s bound to burnWhy is it that I always gotta learn…The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardwayThe hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
