Songtext zu 'Hard Times' von Emery

I sat there while you plead your case
For confidence and secrets to be erased
(I was riddled by your words)
I bet that you could hardly wait
To send the cavalry for me your
Subtlety looked great with scorn

My father told me don't forget who you are.
When you're one step from death
You'll step back or you'll starve.
My strength deceived me, I thought I'd own the word.
But this fool I've become, can't see straight to forget her
The loneliness of loving someone could steal your eyes

And spill the hope you had and
You're left to spend the words by yourself
And no one else, no one else (no one else)
The trust you handed over, the people that you hurt,
But you could never stop yourself, an addict for the worst
What you felt were lies they sell, nothing else (nothing else)

So I sit here making my big plans,
Like they could rescue me,
But now I see the answer through
My window (that nothing can replace)
Those memories my father gave me are all that's left,
But I'm ready to escape this life

The loneliness of loving someone could steal your eyes
And spill the hope you had and you're left to spend the words by yourself
And no one else, no one else (no one else).
The trust you handed over, the people that you hurt,
But you could never stop yourself, an addict for the worst
What you felt were lies they sell, nothing else (nothing else).

I'm sorry for the words I couldn't say
I'm sorry that your efforts were in vain
You were promised so much more than I have gave
I'm not an honest man. I was born for the grave
The loneliness of loving someone could steal your eyes

And spill the hope you had and you're left
To spend the words by yourself
And no one else, no one else (no one else).
The trust you handed over, the people that you hurt,
But you could never stop yourself, an addict for the worst
What you felt were lies they sell, nothing else (nothing else)
