The Hard Way - Céline Dion

I been, I been, I been

I been touching fires for the sake of feelin'

I been chasing, chasing

Chasing all these highs so I could crash the ceiling

I been restless, tempted to follow every devil way down

I took it so low and at the time, it looked like no way out

I had to see

Try to believe

I write my story and this ain’t how it’s ending

Said to myself, said to myself

«This ain’t how I’m gonna go down»

When the bottom hit my soul

I had to climb up all alone

When the night shut down my hope

I had to find a light to hold

You gotta break just a little, die just a little

To come alive in the right way

And sometimes to get home you gotta go

The hard way, hard way

Turnin', turnin', turnin'

Turnin' every corner 'cause my heart was yearning

For something more than 4 AM

Messed up in bed, no, I don’t miss that feeling

I don’t see a reason

Chasing love down a dead end

But see the truth is

I wouldn’t know that unless I did

I had to see

Try to believe

I write my story and this ain’t how it’s ending

Said to myself, said to myself

«This ain’t how I’m gonna go down»

When the bottom hit my soul

I had to climb up all alone

When the night shut down my hope

I had to find a light to hold

You gotta break just a little, die just a little

To come alive in the right way

And sometimes to get home you gotta go

The hard way

I wouldn’t know what I’m made of

If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out)

As long as it took me to get here

The hard times were worth what I found (I found)

I wouldn’t know what I’m made of (I wouldn’t know)

If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out)

As long as it took me to get here (To get here)

The hard times were worth what I found

When the bottom hit my soul

I had to climb up all alone

When the night shut down my hope

I had to find a light to hold

You gotta break just a little, die just a little

To come alive in the right way

And sometimes to get home you gotta go

The hard way
