[Verse 1: Bear Rinehart]
Trading punches with the heart of darkness
Going to blows with your fear incarnate
Never gone until it's stripped away
A part of you has gotta die to change
In the morning you gon' need an answer
Ain't nobody gonna change the standard
It's not enough to just feel the flame
You've gotta burn your old self away
[Chorus: Bear Rinehart]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
[Verse 2: Serena Ryder]
I know the situation can't be right
And all you ever do is fight
But there's a reason that the road is long
It takes some time to make your courage strong
[Chorus: Bear Rinehart & Serena Ryder]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
[Bridge: Bear Rinehart & Serena Ryder]
When the wolves come and hunt me down
I will face them all and stand my ground
'Cause there's a fire burnin' in me
And they will see my strength in this love I found
[Chorus: Bear Rinehart & Serena Ryder]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love
(2x)
[Outro: Bear Rinehart & Serena Ryder]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love (it's a hard love)
It's a hard love (it's a hard love)
It's a hard love (it's a hard love)
It's a hard love
