So let me tell a story, friend,
Of diamond hands and one night stands
I guess the good life paid you once or twice

Just when I thought I had it all,
Caught a sucker punch and lost it all
Just never thought it would have come from you

So here I stand alone again,
With one eye open - I'm a broken man
Life flashed before my eyes, but I'm alive

[Chorus]
I found out the hard way,
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way,
I pray you'll make it through

So what am I supposed to do,
When all I've got, is God and you?
I guess I'll trust the one I can't see

As I sit here on this park bench,
Knowing what you are thinking,
I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep

So here I stand alone again,
Talking to my faceless friend
At least when we've got words, theyre eye to eye

[Chorus x2]

I'm just a simple man -(Make it through)- (x3)
-(I'm just a simple man)- Make it through (x3)

[Chorus x2] ...The hard way, (x2)
