"Hard Times" Lyrics

I could distract myself for a while
Thought that you could walk on water
I thought of questions I'd ask myself
Is there enough of me left to burn?
Thought that you would be mine forever

I'm standing here holding the door wide open
It will always be wide open, stay
I'll never walk away
I'm just trying to keep my head through all the tears
I'm just trying to make it through another day, hard times

But you've been gone too long and all
The things that I say seem wrong
Hard times will make us strong
Hard times oh these hard times, lead to good times
Just hold on

I jump, as the phone lights up the night
Every time you call I think it's going to be good-bye
What's there left to say?
We've walked down this road before
Looks like time to decide

If your heart is still open, open
Mine will always be open for you
I'll never walk away, I'll never walk away
I'm just trying to hold my head up through hard times
It sometimes feels like we won't find our way through hard times

But you keep holding strong and I'll keep holding on
Hard times
It sometimes feels like I can't breathe so well
With everything around me melting
The walls are beginning to crumble, I feel like I'm in hell

Hard times, oh these hard times
Let all those pictures and letters scatter to the wind
None of that matters 'cause I'll be with you until the end
I'm just trying to understand
How can I go on without you?
