Scabs - Hard Times lyrics

rate me

I gave you a hard time, I told you the news<br />

there's no "I'm sorries" 'cause there ain't no excuse<br />

the things I've been doin', the things that I say<br />

the road to ruin between you and me<br />

<br />

my reasons for cheating, I don't know what to say<br />

maybe it's nature, havin' its way<br />

you know that I love you, but that's easy to say<br />

you'd make me proud of you if you would stay<br />

<br />

I promised you sunshine, I promised you you'd be all mine<br />

instead of the good times, a killer came and took your heart away<br />

<br />

I gave you hard times, baby<br />

I told the truth and lies<br />

<br />

I was silly believing my lies could last<br />

'cause sooner or later the rumour would spread<br />

I often wonder how the things would be<br />

if you hadn't found out the truth about that girl and me<br />

<br />

can't promise you sunshine, can't promise you you'll be all mine<br />

I'll try to be honest, unlike the first time it won't slip my mind<br />

<br />

repeat chorus<br />

<br />

I look out the window, I watch the street kids grow<br />

life was so easy when I was that old<br />

there were no lies and no things to be told<br />

just lullabies and time to grow old
