Jodie Manross - Hard Way lyrics

You came over with flowers What an odd way to start a war But one is fought with words unspoken The moment you walk through that door I wear one face for you I wear one for me I don't want to live like this But baby just let me be Chorus: We keep doing this the hard way Doing this the hard way Doing this the hard way But we do it so well When I want you to leave You turn back around I'm tired, worn and talked to the ground But when I need you most You're nowhere to be found Except this sad, sad state That's keeping us down Alternate Chorus: I sure am better, but I'm not well 'Cause being with you is like welding metal and hammering nails Higher we'll build these fences Deeper we'll build these wells Before we can't get out, only time will tell Bridge: All you give is coolness While I favor fire The way you keep stringing me along I'm feeling so tired I favor fire when all you give is coolness The way we keep carrying on I'm feeling so foolish But I like a little clutter Things messed a bit I'm not thrilled with this life But at least it feels lived in I could put life into place But it just takes too much time With all that we do I'm just not satisfied Chorus (repeated twice)
