Always chasing, your validation
Wonder if I'm wasting my time
'Cause I've been waiting and losing patience
Hoping that you'd up and change my mind

Over mountains, through the valleys
You go on ahead without me
Not much more that I can do for you
If we were wiser, a little older
We'd keep our hearts from getting colder
Heaven knows it's hard to face the truth

I won't be your hard time lover
Take your things and go find another
Sun don't shine when your eyes stay covered
I won't be your hard time lover

Hard time lover
Hard time lover

I'm just your shelter, some hopeless helper
Meant to fix all your broken parts
But I'm more than safety, why don't you save me
Guess you're busy coloring your scars

Over mountains, through the valleys
You go on ahead without me
Not much more that I can do for you
If we were wiser, a little older
We'd keep our hearts from getting colder
Heaven knows it's hard to face the truth

I won't be your hard time lover
Take your things and go find another
Sun don't shine when your eyes stay covered
I won't be your hard time lover

Hard time lover
Hard time lover

I won't be your hard time lover
Take your things and go find another
Sun don't shine when your eyes stay covered
I won't be your hard time lover
