Hard Place Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm, eh

[Verse 1]
Wanna believe what you say
But I hate you on most days
You've been testing my faith and my patience, yeah
And you know that I be head strong
But you know that you be dead wrong
Telling me to relax when I'm reacting

[Pre-Chorus]
But I, I'd rather fight
Than lose sleep at night
At least you're all mine
And if I have to choose
My heart or you
I'm gonna lose, yeah

[Chorus]
What if nothing ever will change?
Oh, I'm caught between your love and a hard place
Oh, I wish there was a right way
I'm caught between your love and a hard place, oh
Woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah
[Verse 2]
Do I even have a choice when-
I'm gonna have to pick my poison
Yeah, you hurt me so good, it's so good
And even when you cause tears
You're the one who wiped them away
Maybe that's the reason I stay, I stay

[Pre-Chorus]
But I, I'd rather fight
Than lose sleep at night
At least you're all mine
And if I have to choose
My heart or you
I'm gonna lose

[Chorus]
What if nothing ever will change?
Oh, I'm caught between your love and a hard place
Oh, I wish there was a right way
I'm caught between your love and a hard place, oh
Woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah

What if nothing ever will change?
I'm caught between your love and a hard place
Ooh, I wish there was a right way, yeah
I'm caught between your love and a hard place, ooh woah ooh
Woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah
Oh, I'm caught between your love and a hard place
Woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah
Oh, I wish there was a right way
Woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah
I'm caught between your love and a hard place, oh
Woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah, oh oh woah

[Outro]
I'm caught between your love and a hard place
What if nothing will ever change?
I'm caught between your love and a hard place
