Out Here
Chorus
Say you can't keep down, make them hear.
Dripping in the dark not a tear,
Oh you know it's hard out here.
(Ooh you know that it's hard out here)
Swimmings in the depths, ain't no air,
Say it with your chest, if you dare.
Oh you know it's hard out here.
(Ooh you know you know that it's hard out here)
Verse
Money and control, power and respect.
Things I do not hold, and those things I don't respect,
Draw but never fold, sherards you can't express.
Call but never home, play your part still second guess.
Stress never confess, test but never test,
yes but never yes, bless forever bless.
Give but never gave, sin but never saved,
drop me off in purple rain, and watch them colours change.
I watched yours deepen, could even,
see me in them reflecting, from affection to your reasons,
in the hope that I could see them.
Maybe then I'd understand, wrapped around little fingers
Why do you play so underhand?
Mistakes are just mistakes, a man is just a man,
Wanna say it with your chess, but that ain't a game of chance.
Do I know what's next? Not yet but there's a plan.
Some things can't be explained,
And what's to be explained, (you) won't understand.
Chorus
Say you can't keep down, make them hear.
Dripping in the dark not a tear,
Oh you know it's hard out here.
(Ooh you know that it's hard out here)
Swimmings in the depths, ain't no air,
Say it with your chest, if you dare.
Oh you know it's hard out here.
(Ooh you know you know that it's hard out here)
