Harder Than the Hard Stuff

Cocaine and alcohol

Lord knows I’ve tried it all

I’ve toed the line and turned and walked away

Had my share of wilder times

Lost some days to three day nights

And I’ve always seemed to turn it all around

But the silence of this empty place

Is breaking me in brand new ways

All strung out and there ain’t no relief

Never had hard time walking away

But damn you’ve got a hold on me

I’m dry and drowning in your memory

No I never knew that quitting you would be

So much harder than the hard stuff

I can flush the drink and percocets

And brace myself for the shakes and sweats

A couple weeks I’m right back on my feet

But just one hit of your perfume

Brings me right on back to you

Ain’t no drug I’ve found that can compare

Cause the silence of this empty place

Is breaking me in all new ways

I’m all strung out and there ain’t no relief

Never had hard time walking away

But damn you’ve got a hold on me

I’m dry and drowning in your memory

No I never knew that quitting you would be

So much harder than the hard stuff

The silence of this empty place

Is breaking me in a whole new way

All strung out and there ain’t no relief

Never had hard time walking away

But god damn you’ve got a hold on me

I’m dry and drowning in your memory

I never knew that quitting you would be

So much harder than the hard stuff

The silence of this empty place

Is breaking me in a whole new way

I never knew that quitting you would be

So much harder than the hard stuff
