Hard Love

from Denali by Emma Hill

/

lyrics

You were a black cat and I was your ninth death, staring down a barrel at everything you'd known
I was a hotshot, hoping you would see it, then maybe you'd believe it and come running home
Oh you were a hard love, you were a hard love
You're still that hard love that I can't let go of
Now we're asking maybes in a bar, you were working night shifts driving cars
I knew that you'd be someone else's baby
I flew on the red-eye, stopped in for a short while
A black and blue and a cigarette light, a smile from you
I'm wearing lipstick with a hope that you'll remember that you liked it then
I'm wearing lipstick with a hope that you'll remember me
Oh the lights are out, you are so close that I can feel it, you are so close that I can smell it
Oh you were a hard love, you'll always be that hard love that I can't let go of
You were a black cat and I was your ninth death
