The Hard Way

I made a big mistake thinking how things could have changed
Some people are destined to fail, some people are meant to be great
I've seen the sad and lonely road's two sides and burned up the tracks
Hell knows where sold souls go, we're growing old, it's far too long to run

Goodbye anger, goodbye
Goodbye old friends, goodbye
Goodbye, it's gonna be alright
We're free at last and I've learned that the hard way

I'm on a tear through the midwestern states, mistakes I need to erase
You're dead and gone and if I believed in heaven, maybe I could say that you were in a better place
I've seen the sad and lonely road's two sides and burned up the tracks
Hell knows where sold souls go, we're growing old, it's far too long to run

Goodbye anger, goodbye
Goodbye old friends, goodbye
Goodbye, it's gonna be alright
We're free at last and I've learned that the hard way

Learned that the hard way, learned that the hard way
I can't hear anything, I can't feel anything
I'm far too numb
