Hard to Love, Harder to Leave

(Verse 1) I know I’m the storm you can’t outrun, A loaded gun you keep holding. You cry, I swear I’ll change, But we both know that’s just the whiskey talking. (Pre-Chorus) I’m a flickering streetlight, Promising warmth but leaving you in the cold. (Chorus) I’m hard to love, but harder to leave, A taste of heaven with hell underneath. You paint me gold, but I tarnish easy, Yet you stay, and God knows why you need me. (Verse 2) I’ll wreck your heart like a midnight drive, Fast and reckless, no brakes in sight. You deserve the world, I know it’s true, But the world’s not me, and I’m all you choose. (Bridge) One day you’ll wake up and finally see, The best thing I’ll ever do is set you free. (Outro) So hate me now or hate me slow, But darling, I already know… You’ll love me ‘til the pain’s too deep. I’m hard to love, but harder to leave.
