Hard Times

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

In the corner

On my birthday

You watched me

Dancing right there in the grass

I was too young

To noticе

That some types of love could bе bad

Praying I'd be like you

Doing all of the things that you do

And I still do

And that scares me

[Outro]

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 just wanna sleep)

I'm tired of you, still tied to me

(I just wanna sleep)

Too tired to move, too tired to leave

(I just wanna sleep)

I'm tired of you, still tied to me

(Please, can I sleep, can I sleep?)

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

According to a Genuis annotation cosigned by Hayden, "The song details sexual abuse Ethel suffered at the hands of her father at the age of 9. Being put into such a traumatic situation at such a young age forced her to grow up fast."
