The Hard Way 가사

We were just strangers Didn’t know your name but I could tell you were good at hiding your pain The ones you kept closest Didn’t even notice But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away And lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed That you were okay But I learnt the hard way Thought it wasn’t my place But I learnt the hard way You left us too soon Such pain they put you through Only felt safe in your room Needed someone to turn to A delicate flower They took all power And got in your head before you could even bloom But lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed That you were okay But I learnt the hard way Thought it wasn’t my place But I learnt the hard way Pretending everything’s ok I should’ve taken on your weight Then I wouldn’t have to learn the hard way And why does someone have to lose? And why did that have to be you? Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
