Hard Time - John Miles

Tell me the right thing to say,

Don’t think that I’ve got no pride.

There’s something that stands in my way,

Every time I’m by her side.

You say I’ll get hurt in the end,

You can’t believe that I know.

I just live to see her again,

Sad, but I can’t let it show.

Easy to say that she’s no good for me,

If only I could turn away.

Just look at my face, you can read my story,

Leave me for another day.

Why do you give me such a hard time, I know I’m wrong,

So maybe I’ll never be right.

I’m falling for the same line, can I be strong,

When I know I’m losing this fight.

Reason goes over my head

Try, but there’s nowhere to run.

I cannot believe what she said,

Hide from the things that she’s done.

I don’t know how long I can stay,

Too many bridges to mend.

I know I must face it one day

How long I’m gonna pretend?

Hard as I try all those things I’m hearing

Please don’t let me hear them now.

Understand why I could dry my tears

And try to work it out somehow.

Why do you give me such a hard time, I know I’m wrong,

So maybe I’ll never be right.

I’m falling for the same line, can I be strong,

When I know I’m losing this fight.

Don’t give me a hard time tonight.

Why do you give me such a hard time, I know I’m wrong,

So maybe I’ll never be right.

I’m falling for the same line, can I be strong,

When I know I’m losing this fight.

Don’t give me a hard time tonight.

Hard time, I know I’m wrong,

So maybe I’ll never be right.

I’m falling for the same line, can I be strong,

When I know I’m losing this fight.

Don’t give me such a hard time, I know I’m wrong,

So maybe I’ll never be right.

I’m falling for the same line, can I be strong,

When I know I’m losing, I know I’m losing.

Hard time, I know I’m wrong …
