[Verse 1]
Old love, won't you wait for me?
I gave you everything that a man should need
How can I pick you up if you keep on letting me down?
Fill these wounds with the tears
That I'm cry-cry-cry-cry-crying for you

[Chorus]
Hard luck, should've known better than to make it worse
Should've known better, had to give it all up, boy
Hard luck

[Verse 2]
Wild love, were you all that I need?
If we did this over, would it change who I have to be?
Tell me how to let you go without me letting you down
Fill these wounds with the tears
That I'm cry-cry-cry-cry-crying for you

[Chorus]
Hard luck, should've known better than to make it worse
Should've known better, had to give it all up, boy
Hard luck

[Bridge]
How did we lose sight
With all we did, all we did?
All we did right
Was not enough, not enough to make it right
Just enough to break it
Not enough to make it
[Chorus]
Hard luck, should've known better than to make it worse
Should've known better, had to give it all up, boy
Hard luck, should've known better than to make it worse
Should've known better, had to give it all up, boy
Hard luck
Hard luck
