Andra Day - HARD LOVE lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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] Hold on tight a little longer What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger Get back up, cuz 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, cuz it's a hard love [Verse 3] You 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 take some time to make your courage strong [Chorus] Hold on tight a little longer What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger Get back up, cuz 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, cuz it's a hard love [Bridge] When the wolves come and hunt me down I will face them off and stand my ground Cuz there's a fire burnin' in me They will see my strength in this love I found Oh [Chorus] Hold on tight a little longer What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger Get back up, cuz 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, cuz it's a hard love [Refrain] It's a hard love (12x) [Chorus] Hold on tight a little longer What don't k** ya, makes ya stronger Get back up, cuz 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, cuz it's a hard love Cuz it's a hard love
