The Hardest Way - Dee Snider

You want a perfect ending

It’s so hard to attain

And we’ve all got to learn

Something the hardest way

The answers are not always there

The stories are not always clear

Not all of us give

Not all of us take

Not all will truly live

Or be there when our sights regained

Step forward into the blinding light

If you dare look back it’s your last time

We’ve all learned something

Step forward into the blinding light

If you dare look back it’s your last time

It’s your last time

We’ve all learned something

The hard way

The hardest way

We’ve all learned something

The hard way

The hardest way

This is about not knowing

And always having to change

Making the best of moments

That will test our strength

Without knowing what happens next

With courage taking the first step

Not all of us hate

Not all of us love

Not all will live to see

Just what our hardest days become

Step forward into the blinding fight

If you dare look back it’s your last time

We’ve all learned something

Step forward into the blinding light

If you dare look back it’s your last time

It’s your last time

We’ve all learned something

The hard way

The hardest way

We’ve all learned something

The hard way

The hardest way

The time is here

Now we all must learn

The lessons learned

The scars we earned

Are not always all the ones we choose to

The bridges burned

The pages turned

They’re not always the ones that we learn from

We’ve all learned something

The hard way

The hardest way

We’ve all learned something

The hard way

The hardest way
