Hard Times for Lovers - Rumer

Seems like it was just a while ago

All of my friends and I

Went to each other’s weddings

And stood by each other’s sides

And became brides

But talking on the phone with Kirk today

He said that he and Liz were through

And by the way that things have been going

You could say they were overdue

For every other married pair of us

Had already split in two

Each of us turning out lights alone

Or sleeping with someone new

Ain’t it true

These are hard times for lovers

Everyone wants to be free

Ain’t these hard times for lovers

Everyone’s singing

I got to be me without you

Now, honey, I’m supposed to tell you

I’ve got to live for today

And don’t you see it is my lifetime

I’ve got to live it my own way

But lately I can’t help thinking

I reap what I sow

For all of my holy freedom

What have I got to show

I don’t know

These are hard times for lovers

Everyone wants to be free

Ain’t these hard times for lovers

Everyone’s singing

I got to be me without you

Ain’t these hard times for lovers

Everyone wants to be free

Ain’t these hard times for lovers

Everyone’s singing

I got to be me without you

Without you

Without you
