[Verse 1]
Trading punches with the heart of darkness
Going to blows with your fear incarnate
Never gone until it's stripped away
A part of you has gotta die to change

[Verse 2]
In the morning you gon' need an answer
Ain't nobody gonna change the standard
It's not enough to just feel the flame
You've gotta burn your old self away

[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love

[Verse 3]
You know the situation can't be right
And all you ever do is fight
But there's a reason that the road is long
It take some time to make your courage strong

[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love

[Bridge]
When the wolves come and hunt me down
I will face them off and stand my ground
Cuz there's a fire burnin' in me
They will see my strength in this love I found
Oh

[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love

[Refrain]
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love
It's a hard love

[Chorus]
Hold on tight a little longer
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
You can't change without a fallout
It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down
Get back up, cuz it's a hard love
Cuz it's a hard love

GRAMMY® Award-nominated alternative- and folk-rock artist NEEDTOBREATHE have mounted a steady ascent to the top of the charts and packed arenas everywhere. Formed in 1998, the group attracted a loyal grassroots following with their full-length debut Daylight in 2006 and its follow-up The Heat in 2007.

Two years later, The Outsiders became their first Top 20 entry on the Billboard Top 200 before eventually going gold. During 2011, The Reckoning landed at #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart and #6 on the Top 200. In addition to bowing at #3 on the Top 200, 2014’s Rivers in the Wasteland yielded the platinum-selling Hot 100 hit “Brother” feat. Gavin DeGraw and “Multiplied,” which garnered their first GRAMMY® nod. Meanwhile, 2016’s H A R D L O V E marked their highest chart bow yet, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top Current Album Sales Chart, as the title track “Hard Love” feat. Andra Day scored a gold plaque.

Along the way, they headlined and sold out iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Greek Theatre, and Ryman Auditorium, to name a few. The group picked up a pair of nominations at the Billboard Music Awards, and received praise from People, Rolling Stone, Forbes, and more. Now, NEEDTOBREATHE reflect the freedom of youth on their seventh full-length offering, Out of Body (Elektra Records) over a rich soundtrack of soulful rock with stadium-size scope and poetic intimacy introduced by the singles “Hang On” and “Seasons.”
