I thought I shook myself free You see I bounce back quicker than most But I'm half delirious, Is too mysterious You walk through my walls like a ghost And I take everyday at a time I'm as proud as a Lion in his Lair Now there's no denying it, a note to crying it Your all tangled up in my head Old habits die hard Old soldiers just fade away Old habits die hard Harder than November rain Old habits die hard Old soldiers just fade away Old habits die hard Hard enough to feel the pain We haven't spoken in months You see I've been counting the days I dream of such humanities, such insanities I'm lost like a kid and I'm late But I've never taken your coats Haven't no block on my phone I act like an addict, I just got to have it I can never just leave it alone Old habits die hard Old soldiers just fade away Old habits die hard Harder than November rain Old habits die hard Old soldiers just fade away Old habits die hard Hard enough to feel the pain And I can't give you up Can't leave you alone And its so hard, so hard And hard enough to feel the pain Old habits die hard Old soldiers just fade away Old habits die hard Harder than November rain Old habits die hard Old soldiers just fade away Old habits die hard Hard enough to feel the pain
