[Verse 1]
You find the strength
To open up the bottle for the last time
And pour it down the drain
'Cause she asked you to change
And you know that you'd be crazy for tradin' the way
She loves you for a high that ain't gonna last
But then you do
And you can't take it back

[Chorus]
It tears you up, it wears you down
You want to quit but you can't get out
Habits are harder than hearts to break
And habits are harder than hearts to break
Back on the track, you brace yourself
'Cause it don't take much to come off the rails
So tired of seein' tears rollin' down your face
But habits are harder than hearts to break

[Verse 2]
Broken holidays
Walkin' in with clear eyes and havin' conversation without the haze
Just like she had prayed
Then you slip out for a minute, then everything 'bout you's different when you walk back into the room
A shell of who you are
Watchin' her fall apart
[Chorus]
And it tears you up, it wears you down
You want to quit but you can't get out
Habits are harder than hearts to break
And habits are harder than hearts to break
Back on the track, you brace yourself
'Cause it don't take much to come off the rails
So tired of seein' tears rollin' down your face
But habits are harder than hearts to break

[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey

[Bridge]
I know that same blood runs through me
The demons hidin' wants everything
I know the roads I won't go down
'Cause I have seen

[Chorus]
How it tears you up, it wears you down
You want to quit but you can't get out
Habits are harder than hearts to break
And habits are harder than hearts to break
Back on the track, you brace yourself
'Cause it don't take much to come off the rails
So tired of seein' tears rollin' down your face
But habits are harder than hearts to break
