Wakin' up worthless
Should've worked up the courage to kill myself
Did I deserve this?
The Mona Lisa that sits upon my shelf
I wasn't privy to purpose
I wasn't really the perfect candidate
Younger me would let it go to waste

My inhibitions are gone
I had to do it the hard way
And you were right all along
I was addicted to heartache
I was addicted to loving lies that I was told
I'd rather die alone than have to live in the dark days
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way

I guess that I'm tired
Of lookin' for peace that I've been promised
The friends I admired
Have all grown up and turned to liars
They tell me they get it
They overheard I'm doing fine
Goodbye's a lonely hill to have to climb

My inhibitions are gone
I had to do it the hard way
And you were right all along
I was addicted to heartache
I was addicted to loving lies that I was told
I'd rather die alone than have to live in the dark days
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way

My inhibitions are gone
I had to do it the hard way
And you were right all along
I was addicted to heartache
I was addicted to loving lies that I was told
I'd rather die alone than have to live in the dark days
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
I had to do it the hard way
