Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, sweet failure
I'm sitting still on your lonesome seat
Where the winds and the gales fail me
Like a mirror
Off the bow, I been dancing
From the still, what still moves in me
And I never thought I'd say
[Chorus]
That maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
As if I would forget the lesson if it didn't come with the pain
Saving face, faking faith while favor paved my way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
[PostChorus]
Needed to find out the hard way, the hard way
Needed to find out the hard way, the hard way
[Verse 2]
Trustworthy words
The sharp words from a dear friend
More faithful than the days end
But I chase praises
And from nothing more than fails
In love with the mirage of a man
And I never thought I'd say
[Chorus]
That maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
As if I would forget the lesson if it didn't come with the pain
Saving face, faking faith while favor paved my way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
What I didn't know then
You can bet I know it now
All the places that I've been
All the roads that I walked down
What I didn't know then
You can bet I know it now
All the places that I've been
And all the folks that I let down
I let down, woah
[Chorus]
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way, the hard way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way, the hard way
Saving face, faking faith while favor paved my way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
As if I would forget the lesson if it didn't come with the pain
Saving face, faking faith while favor paved my way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way
[Outro]
(Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way)
(Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way)
(Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way)
(Maybe I just needed to find out the hard way)
