[Verse 1]
You call when the rain start
You lean when the lane dark
I was your back porch
Your spare key, your backup heart
When the bag got heavy
When the night got messy
You said my name like help
Then you left me empty
I know the pattern now
I know the script you run
You like me when it hurts
You love me when I come
Through the hard week, through the crash, through the blame
When it looks too clean, I don't hear my name
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't come dressed in gold
If you only want the cold
I learned your touch too well
You never stay when it's whole
[Chorus]
Only wanted for the hard time
Hard time, hard time
Not wanted for the good times
Good times, good times
You want me when it breaks
When the floor gives way
Only wanted for the hard time
Hard time, hard time
[Verse 2]
You keep a front row seat
For every bruise I bleed
You got a soft spot for my lows
And a hard time seeing me free
When I laughed too loud
When my chest stood proud
You turned your face away
Like I wasn't allowed
Now I pick my own calls
Now I keep my door locked
You don't get to starve me out
Then call me when the storm knocks
I was a lifeline, not a leftover
A last resort, a dragged-out soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't come dressed in gold
If you only want the cold
I learned your touch too well
You never stay when it's whole
[Chorus]
Only wanted for the hard time
Hard time, hard time
Not wanted for the good times
Good times, good times
You want me when it breaks
When the floor gives way
Only wanted for the hard time
Hard time, hard time
[Bridge]
Yeah, I saw it clear
When the sun came back
You made me small
Then blamed me for that
I won't be your bandage
I won't be your spare
If you want my heart
Show up anywhere
[Final Chorus]
Only wanted for the hard time
Hard time, hard time
Not wanted for the good times
Good times, good times
You want me when it breaks
When the floor gives way
Only wanted for the hard time
Hard time, hard time
Only wanted for the hard time
Hard time, hard time
