Forgetting Is the Hardest Part - Thomas Brantley

In the heat of the street, of the city A young boy hides the pain And he walks so tall, trying to hang on But he knows he's going down again I know he's going down Darkness fades he's the prince of his city In a place where they all know your name You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed You're just a pawn in a losing game You lose at life, it ain't no game Hear their cries (Hear their cries) The hardest part is the night (In the night, hear their cries, in the night) Stay alive (Stay alive) The hardest part is the night (In the night, in the night) All alone in a place where the lonely They all have to walk through the rain And they dance on the edge where you only Only pray that it has to end That the night ain't no friend Hear their cries (Hear their cries) The hardest part is the night (In the night, hear their cries, in the night) Stay alive (Stay alive) The hardest part is the night (In the night, stay alive in the night) Hear their cries (Hear their cries) The hardest part is the night (In the night, hear their cries, in the night) Stay alive (Stay alive) The hardest part is the night (In the night, in the night) These four walls, they could tell you some stories About lying and dying and fame There's a price that you'll pay for the glory About losing and choosing and pain The hardest part is the night (In the night, hear their cries, in the night) Stay alive (Stay alive) The hardest part is the night (In the night, stay alive in the night) Hear their cries (Hear their cries) The hardest part is the night (In the night, hear their cries, in the night) Stay alive (Stay alive) The hardest part is the night (In the night, stay alive in the night) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh Woo-ooh, woo-ooh Woo-ooh, woo-ooh Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

Call me up to meet you, static on the phone Normally I need you, this time I don't wanna go Lately, I've been growing into someone you don't know You had the chance to love her, but apparently you don't No, you don't So even if I could, wouldn't go back to where we started I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is Pray that things won't change, but the hardest part is You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway Oh I held her up so highly, had me deep under her spell Her opinions would define me, this time I made some for myself 'Cause lately, I've been certain, there's no further to go Yeah, she had the chance to love me, but apparently she don't No, she won't Even if I could, wouldn't go back to where we started I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is Pray that things won't change, but the hardest part is You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway And it's okay I'm not gonna remember you that way You say I'm different now, like that's so strange I was only 18 You should've known that I was always gonna change Even if I could, wouldn't go back to where we started I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is Pray that things won't change, but the hardest part is You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same Ain't there no more (I ain't there no more) I ain't there no more No more, no more Ain't there no more (I ain't there no more) I ain't there no more Ain't there no more (I ain't there no more) But the hardest part is You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same

This city's looking like a ghost town All the stores downtown they've been closing down Yeah, the only lights that shine for miles Are lighting up the sky above memorial drive And if you want a seat you better come on down 'Cause when the band fires up that old glory sound This is the moment we've all been waiting for Lining them up, and the whistle blows This ain't no game around here It's more like religion We've built this thing 'round here A football tradition So everybody get up And feast your eyes On the highlight of small town life It's Friday night And winning state would be a miracle Man, we did it back in '54 And if the baptist church prayed Sunday morning We might just stand a chance with the help of the Lord This is ain't no game around here It's more like religion We've built this thing right here A football tradition So, everybody get up And feast your eyes On the highlight of small town life It's Friday night And now the stadium's quiet Standing here alone on this old 50 yard line If I listen close i can hear battle cries Of all the heroes come and gone before I was alive The memories of fourth and three Now that rival game is coming back to me It meant more than a big state ring If we could do it again it'd never be the same Remember the lights and the butterflies Giving it all just one last time Because heroes are remembered but *dragons* never die This is ain't no game around here It's more like religion We've built this thing right here A football tradition So, everybody get up And feast your eyes On the highlight of small town life It's Friday night Come on
