Lyrics
You were heartbroke, stumblin' blind
Feelin' guilty, but there was no crime
So late in the game, now its a cryin' shame
But don't take it so hard
Ya can't take it so hard.
She was a young one, a head-strong girl
Just what you wanted to shake up your world
And she did that well
A little trip through Hell
But don't take it so hard
Hey, ya can't take it so hard.
I'm here to tell ya, there's a light on down the road
'N if you're gonna get there, son, ya better lighten up your load
'N don't take it so hard.
SOLO
Time is a healer and a thief in the night
You can be a believer and never get it right
And the time goes by in the blink of an eye
But don't take it so hard
Ya can't take it so hard.
