Hard Times (feat. Emer Dineen)

I've been foolish
I came too close
Let you go too deep
I fed you false hope
A shallow hope that I need to release

Hard times
Isn't losing enough, I'm losing my mind
Ooh, yeah
Flattery lies
I'm not easy to love
Stop wasting your time

Ooh, yeah
Hard times
Is that reason enough I'm feeling tired?
Flattery lies
Talked me into love, not out my mind

I never meant to make you try

Hard times
Isn't reason enough why I'm wasting my life with these
Flattery lies in me 'cause
I taught you to love me so foolishly
Because I like to see through your eyes
Because I like to see through your eyes
Like to see through your eyes
Like to see through your eyes

There definitely are stories and stories and stories that can be told
To me, you could make it, you know?
I mean, one's idea is so hard to describe music
Other than the basic way to describe it
Music is basically melody, harmony and rhythm
But, I mean, people can do much more with music than that
It can be very descriptive in all kinds of ways, you know?
All walks of life
But don't choose me, Paul

Hard times
Is that reason enough I'm feeling tired?
You try
Talked me into love, not out my mind

Too bad you're in that particular area
I mean, it makes you feel like
Everything you did wasn't for nought, you know?
That you really tried to prove something
Well, man, you really proved it
I think you did more than anybody in the last ten years
To leave a decisive mark on the history of jazz
Well, not yet, Paul, but I intend to
I'd like to study some more, I'm not quite through yet
