It’s Harder Now - Remix

It used to be easy to mess up my mind, but it's harder now
It used to be easy to take up my time, but it's harder now
I used to be an open book, anyone could have a look
You just took all you took, but it's harder now

I used to have a heart of gold, but it's harder now
You left me out in the cold, Lord it's harder now
You thought that you could break the rules, maybe you should go back to school
'cause you're no genius and I'm no fool and it's harder now

You can do more hurt with an unkind word than you can with a gun
Many a slip between the tongue and the lip, but this time the damage is done

You thought you was the master of the game, but it's harder now
You said it would be easy, but it's not quite the same, yes it's harder now
Maybe you was my mistake, you made me your lucky break
You just took all you could take, but it's harder now

You thought that you could break the rules, maybe you should go back to school
'Cause you're no genius and I'm no fool and it's harder now
Yes it's harder now, so much harder now
Yes it's harder now
