Lyrics Hard Times - Ethel Cain

Hide me there, under the leaves
Nine going on eighteen, lay it on me

Tell me a story about how it ends
Where you're still the good guy, I'll make pretend
'Cause I hate this story
Where happiness ends and dies with you (mhmm)

I thought good guys get to be happy
I'm not happy
I am poison in the water and unhappy
Little girl who needs her daddy real bad (real bad)

In the corner, on my birthday, you watched me
Dancing right there in the grass
I was too young to notice
That some types of love could be bad

Praying I'd be like you
Doing all of the things that you do
And I still do
And that scares me

I'm tired of you still tied to me
Bleeding whenever you want
Too tired to move, too tired to leave

I'm tired of you still tied to me
It's just the way that you are
I'm tired of you, too tired to leave

I'm tired of you still tied to me
Too tired to move, too tired to leave
I'm tired of you still tied to me
I'm tired of you, too tired to leave

I'm tired of you still tied to me
Too tired to move, too tired to leave
