I broke down on the yellow line train My sweater got tear stained My favorite record is a slow jam Just shows you what a wimp I am I get emo when I watch TV It always feels like they're talkin' to me I broke down on the yellow line train Can't lie about what's on my brain I know I've ruined a night or two I couldn't hold back my views Family dinner turned off the news Stuck in a silent room And I'd rather die by the truth And hide away feelin' shades of blue I've ruined a night or two 'Cause it's hard bein' hardcore I'll cut the lights, and cry in the dark more If you don't feel, then what the hell is a heart for? 'Cause it's hard bein' hardcore Everybody's got the same blank face Tough roughin' up the place When you're not puttin' up a front Now you're the crazy one Leather jackets line up at the bar Good at hidin' who they are Everybody's got the same blank face 'Cause it's hard bein' hardcore I'll cut the lights, and cry in the dark more If you don't feel, then what the hell is a heart for? 'Cause it's hard bein' hardcore (Hardcore, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) (Hardcore, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) So I'd rather die by the truth And hide away feelin' shades of blue You want tears, I've shed a few 'Cause it's hard bein' hardcore I'll cut the lights, and cry in the dark more If you don't feel, then what the hell is a heart for? 'Cause it's hard bein' hardcore Hardcore (hardcore) ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Hardcore (hardcore) ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) (Na-na, mm, na-na, mm, na-na) Hardcore (na-na, mm, na-na, mm, na-na) Ooh (na-na, mm, na-na, mm, na-na) Hard bein' hardcore
