The Hard Way (Thirsty Merc)

Here I sit once again Im missing you like crazy baby Ive screwed up again and again Keep making the same mistakes Dont wanna be an old man With nothing figured out yet baby I gotta start some time soon I wish I never hurt you I wish I never hurt you Im doing the best I can Living like any man My father used to say to me he said While youre young, You gotta learn the hard way, son I cant call you up to talk I know youre moving on now baby Youve learnt to steer real clear Of guys that resemble me now But dont I know Im on my own Its all about decisions baby This was the ultimate test Once again I failed myself And I failed you too And it hurts like hell Im doing the best I can Living like any man My father used to say it to me he said While youre young, You gotta learn the hard way, son (its the only way youre gonna learn)
