Hard to Believe (Stripped) - Half Measure

I know the summer won't change All the fires that start can't be saved Does that apply to you and me too? There's some things I've been meaning to say to you Like I just want to breathe, is that so hard to believe? What age would you call your prime? We've been at this for a long time That's a point that I think I could use I can't make up another drawn-out, vague excuse I'm trying hard not to lie Things I'm keeping close on both sides But is my silence deafening you? It keeps me up at night, I just need a few And I just want to breathe, is that so hard to? Or would you agree with me? And who would you choose to be? I think that we'll have to see before too long now Got you checking in again I've got a friend I've been talking to And if you knew I've fallen out You're checking in again I've got a friend I've been talking to And if you knew, I've fallen And I hope you're happy with the things that you've got And I'll still remember all the bright parking lots And I can finally breathe, is it so hard to believe it now? Was I tough to be around? Well, maybe you're better now All because I let you down I know there's so much I didn't say I don't wanna be that way I guess it's the price you pay For giving your trust away I'm giving mine now

You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of role reversal Life is a play... Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal You've got to believe in nothing There's an awful lot out there There's an awful lot in make up Some in every perfect hair You know I lose a lot of sleep Wondering if nothing would ever desert us But I know they don't know nothing And what they don't know can't hurt us I want to tell you This guy wants to charge you a nickel I want to tell you This guy wants to charge you a dime I want to tell you I'm 'o' charge you a five dollar bill And show you a real fine time Real fine time There's a candy coated iguana Behind curtain number one And a sixteen dollar bill For every pregnant flying nun They got a soda-pop that'll save the wold It's a tonic and an elixir It's a get-you-laid Better-paid Guaranteed all-round life-fixer I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a twenty I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a ten I want to tell you This guy knows you already did it But he wants you to do it again Do it again You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of role reversal Life is a play, they say Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal I want to tell you Some say life is a blessing I want to tell you Some say life is a curse I want to tell you Some say life is a play But you get no time to rehearse And you got to believe in something Cause it's a lonely universe You got to believe in something

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I will cross Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved No better or no worse I just got lost! Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along may come A bigger one And you'll be lost! Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the firing starts Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Yo, I got you You're with the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with Shit, that's only half if they like you That's not even the half what they might do Don't believe me? Ask Michael See Martin, see Malcolm See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome See Jesus, see Judas See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide So, for now they might choose your side But you succeed, prepare to be crucified Media meddles, people sue you, you settle Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto So, it's tough being Bobby Brown To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now And the question is, "Is to have had and lost Better than not having at all?" Because I'm Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

必要と思われることなら全部 やってきた私にはロスも多くて もっと簡単にたどりつけたはずの ここまで来るのにだいぶ遠回りした 私が私でいるため 切り取って 手放してきたいくつもの 安心や妥協や夢さえ いつの間にか なつかしくなる 昨日よりも 強くいられるために なくすものよりも 得るものが どれだけ大きいか 歯をくいしばりながら噛みしめた 何が正解なんて分からない どれか一つだけってこともない いま自分のものさしで歩いてゆこう そうすれば 涙こぼれても we're just fine 分かるのは途切れない自分の気持ち まだまだやれるんだ、ってもがいてるの もっともっと ゆけるだけ This is my measure, all by my measure 見本のいない私にとって ゆずれない現場は他でもないここで こっから世界を変える、なんて大それた夢を 胸に抱いてるの 私が走ることで もしかしてどこかの誰かがまた 笑ってくれるなら、ね いつもよりか うれしくて 分からないなら 信じるしかない 目を閉じてては 知ることもできない きっと最高の景色 目にするためすすむから 何が正解なんて分からない どれか一つだけってこともない いま自分のものさしで歩いてゆこう そうすれば 涙こぼれても we're just fine ストイックに生きることがかっこいいとは思わない、けど これしかないから 誰にも胸の情熱は負けないの 失敗も経験のうち、そう思えるよう 目をそらさずに 自らの歩いた道 いつまでも忘れぬように 正しい答えなんてないから 自らの炎でLight Up みんながみんな火を燃やすから 時に意見はまとまらないさ でもそれでもぶつかるぐらいが ゆくべき場所が見えてこないか? 誰もが理想かかげるFighter 泣いたあと歩み止めないで 何が正解なんて分からない どれか一つだけってこともない いま自分のものさしで歩いてゆこう そうすれば 涙こぼれても we're just fine どこが限界なんて決めてない あと少しでも前に進みたい ほら自分のものさしで選んでゆこう なくしてきた分まで得られれば we're just fine 分かるのは途切れない自分の気持ち まだまだやれるんだ、ってもがいてるの もっともっと ゆけるだけ This is my measure, all by my measure

Mist covered daylight Hearts wound up so tight Day turning into night Eyes closed tight Opened for the first time New skins for new wine Struggling with the old rhymn Of an outdated hymn First light Hold fast find rest Inside this room of white You'll see in time First light Hold fast find rest Inside this room of white You'll see in time First light Mist covered daylight Hearts wound up so tight Day turning into night Eyes closed tight Opened for the first time New skins for new wine Struggling with the old rhymn Of an outdated hymn First light Hold fast Mist covered daylight Inside Hearts wound up so tight Of white Day turning into night Hold tight Eyes closed tight Hold fast Opened for the first time Inside New skins for new wine Of white Struggling with the old rhymn Of an outdated hymn
