The Hard Way Lyrics — Interrupters

I learned everything the hard way
I learned everything the hard way
I never listened to what anyone had to say
I learned everything the hard way

The road was rocky but I dug my heels in
Till blood and concrete had worn right on through my skin
And it would take a special kind of pain
Before I'd ever say
"I learned my lesson, I learned my lesson"

I learned everything the hard way
I learned everything the hard way
I never listened to what anyone had to say
I learned everything the hard way

My every battle scar could tell a different tale
Of all the times I'd go all in and I would fail
And I know the house, it always wins
And jokers never say
"I learned my lesson, I learned my lesson"

I learned everything the hard way
I learned everything the hard way
I never listened to what anyone had to say
I learned everything the hard way

They like to say "I told you so"
But I know things, they still don't know
So many lessons I forget
So many nights that I regret

I learned everything the hard way
(I learned my lesson)
I learned everything the hard way
(I learned my lesson)
I never listened to what anyone had to say

I never listened and I still don't today
I learn everything the hard way
