美國搖滾女將［佩特．班納塔］B面歌曲──流行搖滾──［Hard to Believe/難以置信］

 

 

Yesterdays a by-line, words upon a page

Tomorrow is a deadline, sudden and its strange

Hard to believe

You ever would leave, but you did

Hard to believe

You ever would leave

 

Nowhere to go, cant sit still

Look for a motive in the time that I kill

Thinking of ways

To fill up my empty days, to fill up my empty days

 

Hard to believe

Youd leave when I need you

I need you so, its hard to believe

Hard to believe

Youd leave when I need you

I need you so, its hard to believe

 

Love is such a fine line, the finest line Ive known

But sorrow is no life line when youre all alone

 

Hard to believe

You ever would leave, but you did

Hard to believe

You ever would leave

 

Cant sleep a wink, up all night

The truth hurts, you know it cuts like a knife

Thinking of ways

To fill up my empty life, to fill up my empty life

 

Hard to believe

Youd leave when I need you

I need you so, its hard to believe

Hard to believe

Youd leave when I need you

I need you so, its hard to believe

 

Hard to believe

Youd leave when I need you

I need you so, its hard to believe

Hard to believe

Youd leave when I need you

I need you so, its hard to believe
