Hardened Soul [Intro] [Verse 1] Years of taking chances, left me harder than before Every time I opened up, somebody closed the door I remember every promise, every word that turned to lies Now I keep my guard up, and I don’t need to tell you why I learned to keep my distance, learned to stand on my own Never needed saving, never begged to be shown You can tell me that you love me, you can swear that it’s true I’ve heard it all before, and I know what people do [Chorus] I’ve got a hardened soul, you can’t get inside I’ve got a hardened soul, there’s nowhere left to hide You can knock upon my door, but I don’t have to let you through I’ve got a hardened soul, and that’s what I’ve been left with (That’s what I’ve been left with) [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] I don’t need your sympathy, I don’t need your concern I’ve already paid the price for every lesson I had to learn Every bridge I ever trusted had a fire underneath Every hand that reached to hold me had another thing beneath I can see it in your eyes, you’re trying to get through But I’ve built these walls too high for anybody new You can tell me I’m mistaken, you can tell me I’m afraid But you weren’t there to see me when the promises were made [Bridge] I’ve been pushed around enough, pushed around enough I’ve been knocked down hard enough, hard enough I don’t need another reason, don’t need another fight If you want to stand beside me, better mean it this time [Chorus] I’ve got a hardened soul, you can’t get inside I’ve got a hardened soul, there’s nowhere left to hide You can knock upon my door, but I don’t have to let you through I’ve got a hardened soul, and that’s what I’ve been left with (That’s what I’ve been left with) [Solo] [Outro — spoken] Maybe someday I’ll let somebody in… But it ain’t gonna be that easy.
