[Verse 1]
I got a friend, doesn't talk to me
He doesn't tell me what is going on
He doesn't like it when I open up
Oh and I got a friend who's a lot like me
I never tell her what is going on
She's always asking me to open up
I guess I never really have the guts

[Chorus]
Why does it get so hard sometimes
I know you wanna get high at night
Why does it get so hard why does it get so
Lonely lonely, lonely lonely

[Verse 2]
Remember when we were younger and
All we thought about was growing up
But we could never really grow enough
Oh and you blink an eye and you're looking back
Now what you had then is what you lack
And all you're saying is remember when
You're always trying to get back again

[Chorus]
Why does it get so hard sometimes
I know you wanna get high at night
Why does it get so hard why does it get so
Hard sometimes, I really wanna get high tonight
Why does it get so hard why does it get so
[Post-Chorus]
Lonely lonely, lonely lonely
Lonely lonely, lonely lonely
Lonely lonely, lonely lonely
Lonely lonely, oh it gets so
Lonely lonely, lonely lonely

[Chorus]
Why does it get so hard sometimes
I know you wanna get high at night
Why does it get so hard why does it get so
Hard sometimes I really wanna get high tonight
Why does it get so hard why does it get so
Lonely lonely, lonely lonely
Lonely lonely, lonely lonely
