[Verse 1]
Livin' in the fast lane is easy til you run out of road
Friends will turn to strangers when you're out of control
A slip of the tongue, when it's done, is often hard to see through
So never let your words be lies or they'll come looking for you

[Refrain]
It's a hard life to love
Mmmm, yeah

[Verse 2]
For the price of glory you left and threw your fortunes away
Never really cared too much for the job or the pay
You're standing in the rain with no cover but you never complain
You're an angry young man face to face but your mirror's insane

[Refrain]
It's a hard life to love
Mmmm

[Chorus]
I'm simply refusing a part in your world
Cause I see, see how it burns
I see how it turns
And you're simply denying the fact that you're blind
And I see no more, I see red
I only see red
Mmmm, yeah
[Verse 3]
Think of all the times I was hurting but you feel no pain
Think of all the lies you told me again and again
And still you seek the truth from those who continue to lie
And now you're seeking life from those who are living to die

[Refrain]
It's a hard life to love
Mmm

[Chorus]
I'm simply refusing a part in your world
Cause I see, see how it burns
I see how it turns
And you're simply denying the fact that you're blind
And I see no more, I see red
I only see red

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh yeah

[Verse 4]
Livin' in the fast lane ain't easy when you've run out of road
Friends will turn to strangers when you've nowhere to go
Don't give a damn when you're lost cause you'll die from it all
Laws were made to be broken and you do it for the thrill of it all
[Outro]
It's a hard life to love
Mm, yeah
It's a hard life to love
Oh yeah
It's a hard life to love
I've run out of road
Oh, hard life to love
I've run out of road
Oh yeah
It's a hard life to love
