I'm never good at telling lies
I'm as certain of what's next
As I am the color of your eyes
And in the morning with goodbyes
I can't promise I'll stay safe
But I can say that I will try
No one's asking for a brave face
Stiff upper lip and don't-you-cry
Cause these are hard times
On top of hard times
Nobody's scared when everything is alright
When you're coming round on the bottom line
It's still you and me
Oh, kid, I'm gonna try
Didn't I see you all alone
In the middle of a stage
After your friends had all gone home
You didn't shake a single note
Oh, but even if you did
You're never one to let it show
No one's asking for a brave face
And you're not standing on your own
Cause these are hard times
On top of hard times
Don't go faking brave when everything ain't alright
When you're coming round on the bottom line
It's still you and me
Oh, kid, you gotta try
You gotta try
The air is thinning all around
But, kid, you know the drill
Just don't look down
Cause these are hard times
Hard times
On top of hard times
Life ain't a game, but we're playing it alright
When you're coming round on the bottom line
It's still you and me
You and Me
Oh it's you and me
Oh, kid, we're gonna try
