In the middle of your evening, close your eyes Under the cover of darkness is the best disguise Set the moon on fire one more time Like so many nights before colored by cries "Don't look back" oughta be your motto See the past only shows the sorrow Burn it all, let the flames take it away, take me away I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way There's a wind blowing my way, growing cold Calling names long forgotten from ages old In the dark, can you find me, hiding still? Forging a blaze to create an iron will "Don't look back" oughta be my motto Show the past, only see the sorrow Burn it all, let the flames take it away, take me away I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way Ghosts don't come back, don't you tell me Stories of what-ifs and will-be's Don't pull me out from my dark fire, take it all away I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way
