Hard to Believe Lyrics by Pat Benatar

Precious Time

1981

[Verse 1]
Yesterday's a by-line, words upon a page
Tomorrow is a deadline, sudden and it's strange
[Refrain]
Hard to believe (Ah-ah-ah)
You ever would leave, but you did
Hard to believe (Ah-ah-ah)
You ever would leave
[Verse 2]
Nowhere to go, can't 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
[Chorus]
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
[Verse 3]
Love is such a fine line, the finest line I've known
But sorrow is no lifeline when you're all alone
[Refrain]
Hard to believe (Ah-ah-ah)
You ever would leave, but you did
Hard to believe (Ah-ah-ah)
You ever would leave
[Verse 4]
Can't 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
[Chorus]
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
