I gave you a hard time

I told you the news

There's no I'm sorries

'Cause there ain't no excuse

The things I've been doin'

The things that I say

The road to ruin between you and me

My reasons for cheating

I don't know what to say

Maybe it's nature havin' it's way

You know that I love you

But that's easy to say

You'd make me proud of you if you would stay

I promised you sunshine

I promised you you'd be all mine

Instead of the good times

A killer came and took you heart away

I gave you hard times baby

I told the truth and lies

I gave you hard times baby

I told the truth and lies

I was silly believing my lies could last

'Cause sooner or later the rumour would spread

I often wonder how the things would be

If you hadn't found out the truth

About that girl and me

Can't promise you sunshine

Can't promise you you'll be all mine

I'll try to be honest

Unlike the first time it won't slip my mind

I gave you hard times baby

I told the truth and lies

I gave you hard times baby

I told the truth and lies

I told the truth and lies

I told the truth and lies and lies and lies and lies

I gave you hard times baby

I told the truth and lies

I gave you hard times baby

I told the truth and lies

I gave you hard times baby

I told the truth and lies

I gave you hard times

I gave you hard times

I gave you hard times

I told the truth and lies

I look out the window

I watch the street kids grow

Life was so easy when I was that old

There were no lies no things to be told

Just lullabies and time to grow old
