If It's Been a Hard Night

[Verse 1]

She was the good kind

A curious wild child

She dreamt of the limelight

And everybody knew

But there was a dark side

That came with the hard times

And in the corners of her mind

It just grew and grew

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't think straight at the best of times

Hearts beat fast, what a bad design

On lonely avenue, she's starting something new

Counting down as the days go on

Parts of her that she thought had gone

On lonely avenues, she's starting something new

[Chorus]

And if it's been a hard night

She's dreaming of a past life

She's looking through the window

It's waiting right outside the door

She tells herself it's alright

Forget about the bad times

'Cause something keeps her holding on

She knows that better days will come

[Verse 2]

Those innocent wide eyes

Always looked on the bright side

She was stood on a goldmine

But searching for the truth

And it took a long time

To be handed a lifeline

And she whispered a goodbye

To everything she knew

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't think straight at the best of times

Hearts beat fast, what a bad design

On lonely avenue, she's starting something new

Counting down as the days go on

Parts of her that she thought had gone

On lonely avenues, she's starting something new

[Chorus]

And if it's been a hard night

She's dreaming of a past life

She's looking through the window

It's waiting right outside the door

She tells herself it's alright

Forget about the bad times

'Cause something keeps her holding on

She knows that better days will come

[Bridge]

(She knows that better days will come)

('Cause something keeps her holding on)

(She knows that better days will come)

('Cause something keeps her holding on)

(And if it's been a lonely night)

(She's dreaming of a better life)

(And if it's been a lonely night)

(She's dreaming of a better life)

[Chorus]

And if it's been a hard night

She's dreaming of a past life

She's looking through the window

It's waiting right outside the door

She tells herself it's alright

Forget about the bad times

'Cause something keeps her holding on

She knows that better days will come
