You gotta be honest
You gotta be guarded
You sure aren't gonna say

Right on the inside
That is the hardest
The hardest game to play

You sorted it all out
And managed to slip through
The night into the day

Life and a soul
Do you ever get lonely?
I'm gonna take you on

Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning
Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning

Gotta be honest
You gotta be guarded
You sure aren't gonna say

Right on the inside
That is the hardest
The hardest game to play

Life and a soul
Do you ever get lonely?
I'm gonna take you on

Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning
Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning

I'm gonna take you on

Gotta be honest
You gotta be guarded
You sure aren't gonna say

Right on the inside
That is the hardest
The hardest game to play
