I should have walked away when I lost faith
But I knew deep inside it was no disgrace
You see, sometimes in life you have to know your place
And it's a hard way to learn
I thought I was in control and all I had was safe
But there was no way I could know that the risk was too great
You see, sometimes life takes you where you don't wanna go
And it's a hard way to learn
It burns you up inside
There is no truth without lies
It takes your soul away
'Cos it's a hard way to learn
I watched the world go by from outer space
But there's nowhere left to hide in such a lonely place
You see, sometimes you just have to know your place
And it's a hard way to learn
It burns you up inside
There is no truth without lies
It takes your soul away
'Cos it's a hard way to learn
I'd swim an ocean but I fear I'd drown
Just to escape from this place I'm bound
Nobody told me just how hard I would hit the ground
If I could leave, if I could only leave
I would leave right now
It burns you up inside
There is no truth without lies
It takes your soul away
'Cos it's a hard way to learn
It burns you up inside
There is no truth without lies
It takes your soul away
'Cos it's a hard way, 'cos it's a hard way, 'cos it's a hard way to learn
It's a hard way to learn
