I?m prayin? to god to release me
From hoping like a fool for her love
Yeah I packed all my hopes in pockets with holes
And still i?m too blind to see that they're fallin? through
No one around who is showing me
What I gotta do she?d be loving me
I flap my wings and my lonely heart sings
But my prayers seem to be just dust in the wind
(you see that)
Some of us learn it the hard way some of us yearn and some of us just never learn
Some of us learn it the hard way that life ain't
That sweet how we want it to be
Chained like a dog she leads me
She's makin? me miss what I used to be
Yeah i?m living on hope feels like i?m on dope
And there ain't no cure but there's a rule (...that's why they're sayin?)
So in a little while my baby will be mine and everything will be just fine, so fine
But when this dream is gone I find myself alone outside her heart
?n? that's why I fall apart (i won't stop fighting, baby, no? but I hear them sayin?)
Some of us learn it the hard way some of us yearn and some of us just never learn
Some of us learn it the hard way even if we try as hard
As we may
Some of us learn it the hard way
You know life ain't always that sweet how we want it
To be
