A Little Hard Hearted Lyrics

We were playing house
Just playing make believe
That you and I in love
Is all we really need
How could I have known
That every feeling swallowed inside
Would just keep glowing
Never knowing that it would someday blow in
Then it was over just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
Oooooo

Broken dreams and shattered glass
Late night screams and busted handles
We tried to hide the past
Settled for the lies
And the dirty scandals
How could I have known
The promises would fade now
Turned to stone and fall away
Just fall away

Then it was over
Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
Yeah

The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted

Oooohh
I don't want to be hard hearted
Nooooo
I dont want to be hard hearted

And it was over
Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
A little hard hearted

Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
Yeah

The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted

Oooohh
I don't want to be hard hearted
Nooooo
I dont want to be hard hearted

And it was over
Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
A little hard hearted

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
