[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I caught your teardrops with my shoulder when you cried
I called in sick so I could comfort you all night
Now you ve got cold feet, well just let me break the ice
I did your laundry and I folded it real nice
So, baby, why?
[Chorus]
(I put in the hard work)
Now I m defeated, face down in the dirt
(I put in the hard work)
And I can t seem to climb out of this hurt
(I put in the hard work)
If it s true that you get what you deserve
(I put in the hard work)
Then why? (I put in the hard work)
[Verse 2]
I held your hair back when you had too much to drink
I used my bare hands to unclog that bathroom sink
When you got de-pressed and your mind was on the blink
I peeled you off the floor and drove you to a shrink
[Chorus]
C mon, baby, why? (I put in the hard work)
Now I m defeated, face down in the dirt
(I put in the hard work)
And I can t seem to climb out of this hurt
(I put in the hard work)
If it s true that you get what you deserve
(I put in the hard work)
Then baby why? (I put in the hard work)
Interlude: no guitar.
(I put in the hard work)
[Verse 3]
I know it s painful to become a butterfly
You have to break yourself before your wings can fly
But still, I wonder when I look up at the sky
If this ain t hell then where does love go when it dies?
Cuz baby, I...
[Chorus] 2x
(I put in the hard work)
Now I m defeated, face down in the dirt
(I put in the hard work)
And I can t seem to climb out of this hurt
(I put in the hard work)
If it s true that you get what you deserve
(I put in the hard work)
Then, God, what did I d to do to deserve this curse?
(I put in the hard work)
(I put in the hard work)
Now I can t seem to climb out of this hurt
(I put in the hard work)
I know it s worthless, but for what it s worth
(I put in the hard work)
I put in the hard work
