THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME
YEAH, I VE HAD MY SHARE OF BROKEN DREAMS
AND MORE THAN A COUPLE OF FALLS
AND IN CHASIN WHAT I THOUGHT WERE MOONBEAMS
I HAVE RUN INTO A COUPLE OF WALLS
BUT IN LOOKING BACK AT THE PLACES I VE BEEN
THE CHANGES THAT I VE LEFT BEHIND
I JUST LOOK AT MYSELF TO FIND
I VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME.
CAUSE I VE HAD MY SHARE OF GOOD INTENTIONS,
AND I VE MADE MY SHARE OF MISTAKES
AND I VE LEARNED AT TIMES IT S BEST TO BEND
CAUSE IF YOU DON T, WELL THOSE ARE THE BREAKS.
SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ALL THE THINGS I WAS TOLD
BUT I WAS YOUNG AND TOO PROUD AT THE TIME
NOW I LOOK AT MYSELF TO FIND I LEARN THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME
BUT IN LOOKING BACK AT THE LESSONS I VE LEARNED
AND THE MOUNTAINS I WANTED TO CLIMB
I JUST LOOK AT MYSELF TO FIND I VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME.
CAUSE I VE HAD MY SHARE OF BROKEN DREAMS
AND MORE THAN A COUPLE OF FALLS
AND IN CHASIN WHAT I THOUGHT WERE MOONBEAMS
I HAVE RUN INTO A COUPLE OF WALLS
BUT IN LOOKING BACK AT THE FACES I VE BEEN
I WOULD SURE BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY
WHEN I LOOK AT MYSELF TODAY WOULDNA DONE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
