[Intro]
Yo
Got me
It's got me feelin like
It's got me feelin like
Like
(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh oh)

[Verse 1]
I touched the guilt in your eyes
As your lips begin to lie
And it kills me every time
But I always learn the hard way (with you)
Just be cool
Be kind
Don't be dumb
Don't be blind
It's the sweetness in your smile
Its nothing new
Nothing new

[Chorus]
But I always learn the hard way
And it always ends in heartbreak
You put me in a hard place
I always learn the hard way
My heartbreaks with you
(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh oh)

[Verse 2]
I don't cry
I don't complain
There's a pattern
To this pain
Just keep hopin'
That could change
But I always learn the hard way with you
Let's just face it
I'm complacent
I'm just comfortable
Yes im jaded
And it's all my fault
Cuz I know what to expect so it's cool
Nothing new

[Chorus]
Swear I always learn the hard way (ahh)
And it always ends in heartbreak (ooo)
You put me in a hard place (ahh)
I'm always in a hard way (ooo)
My heartbreaks with you
(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh oh)

[breakdown]
Apologies
And promises
Our empty words
Same ol' (echoes)
Yesterday
We were on
And you were here
But now your gone

[Chorus]
Swear I always learn the hard way (ahh)
And it always ends in heartbreak (ooo)
You put me in a hard place (ahh)
I'm always in a hard way (ooo)
My heartbreaks with you
(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh oh)

Miguel

Miguel Jontel Pimentel, better known simply as Miguel, is an American recording artist, songwriter and producer. He was born and raised in San Pedro, California. His father is Mexican-American and his mother is African American. He often flaunts his Spanish in many songs. He also sung Remember Me from the movie Coco along side Natalia Lafourcade. In 2007, he signed to Jive Records in 2007 and released his debut album, All I Want Is You, in November 2010. Although it performed poorly upon its release, the album became a sleeper hit and helped Miguel garner commercial standing. Following Jive’s dissolution in 2011, he moved to RCA Records and released his second album Kaleidoscope Dream in 2012 to critical acclaim, followed it up three years later with the equally impressive Wildheart on June 29th, 2015, and his most recent work on December 1, 2017, named War & Leisure.
