The Hard Way Every Time Lyrics

Yeah, I've had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the places I've been
The changes that I've left behind
I just look at myself to find
I've learned the hard way every time

'Cause I've had my share of good intentions
And I've made my share of mistakes
And I've learned at times it's best to bend
'Cause if you don't well those are the breaks
Should have listened to all the things I was told
But I was young and too proud at the time
Now I look at myself to find
I learn the hard way ev'ry time

But in looking back at the lessons I've learned
And the mountains I wanted to climb
I just look at myself to find
I've learned the hard way ev'ry time

'Cause I've had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the faces I've been
I would sure be the first one to say
When I look at myself today
Wouldn'ta done it any other way

As someone else who leads with her face, you fail a lot. But you lived authentically, honestly, and eventually figured things out for yourself as you went.

This is a great message for always knowing that no matter any person\'s life and how far you fall or how high you think your dreams are you are living a life that is a memory that no single person can understand or appreciate like you.\nBe the person you want to be and don\'t ever let anything or anyone stop you from being the you that you are.
