[Verse 1]
Trading punches with the heart of darkness
[?] with your fear and [?]
Never know it til it's stripped away
A part of you has gotta die to change
[Verse 2]
In the morning you gon' need an answer
Ain't nobody gonna change the standard
It's not enough to just feel the flame
You've gotta burn your whole self away
[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
[Verse 3]
You know the situation can't be right
And all you ever do is fight
But there's a reason that the road is long
It take some time to make your courage strong
[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
[Bridge]
When the wolves come and hunt me down
I will face them off and stand my ground
Cuz there's a fire burnin' me
They will see my strength in this love I found
Oh
[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
[Refrain]
It's a hard love (12x)
[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
Cuz it's a hard love
