lyrics

"HARD LIKE THAT" by David Guilbault

(To) my way of thinkin’
The truth’s interpretation
Is subject to occasional sin.
Way that I look at it
Is bound to put a crook in it,
Turn it into something bent.

(CHORUS)
It ain’t the truth
It’s just a fact.
And I’m telling you,
Ain’t it hard like that?

The sun’s up in the mornin’.
You can swear that it’s a bornin’.
But, the more you see the more you don’t know.
Seein’ ain’t believin’,
And all you see is leavin’
By the light that was shining before.

Ev’ryone’s a liar,
And no one will be higher
Than anyone who tires of the truth.
What you say is really
The lie around the feeling
Underneath what’s buggin’ you.
