Adams, Ryan - Harder Now That It's Over Lyrics






They slapped 'em on you
Where that bracelet used to be
You know the one I bought you in phoenix
Where they sell old jewelry
I was trying to make you angry
But I didn't feed you to the cops
When I threw that drink in that guy's face
It was just to piss you off
'Cause honey it's over

It's harder now that it's over
It's harder now that it's over
Now that the cuffs are off
And you're free
You're free with a history

I heard your wrists got bruised
Must've felt just like old times
I wish you would've grabbed the gun
And shot me 'cause I died
And I'm nothing now without you
yeah, I'm less than nothing now

I'm the one between the bars and lost forever now
'Cause it's over now

It's harder now that it's over
It's harder now that it's over
Now that the cuffs are off
And you're free
You're free with a history

Free with a history
You're free
Free with a history

I'm sorry

  1. A.... M....

    Going through a divorce and this song is hitting me so hard.

  2. H.... B....

    They slapped 'em on you
    Where that bracelet used to be
    You know, the one I bought in Phoenix
    Where they sell old jewelry
    Well, I was trying to make you angry
    But I didn't feed you to the cops
    When I threw that drink in that guy's face
    It was just to piss you off
    'Cause honey, it's over now
    It's harder now that it's over
    It's harder now that it's over
    Now that the cuffs are off
    Honey, it's over now
    It's harder now that it's over
    It's harder now that it's over
    Now that the cuffs are off
    And you're free
    You're free, free with a history
    You're free
    You're free, free with a history, oh
    I heard your wrists got bruised
    Must've felt just like old times
    I wish you would've grabbed the gun
    And shot me 'cause I died
    And I'm nothing now without you
    Yeah, I'm less than nothing now
    I'm the one between the bars
    And lost forever now
    'Cause honey it's over
    It's harder now that it's over
    It's harder now that it's over
    Now that the cuffs are off
    It's over now|
    It's harder now that it's over
    Harder now that it's over
    Now that the cuffs are off
    And you're free
    You're free, you're free, free with a history
    You're free
    You're free, you're free, free with a history, oh
    I'm sorry
    I'm sorry
    Honey, I'm sorry

    This guy is simply boring and predictable in his song writing, not impressed.

  4. O.... F....

    When I threw that drink in that guys face it was just to piss you off

  5. r.... ....

    And hes out of here folks

  6. O.... S....

    this motherfucker should run for mayor

  7. e.... ....

    i will always be a fan of ryan. i don't listen to him as much anymore. but there will never be a time where i stop listening to the magic. i think that he hit so many people on a personal level with his music, that it will never be forgotten by a certain generation. people who listen to punk, jazz, country, dylan and the stones...

  8. b.... c....

    Wat a great song !

  9. K.... H....

    "I'm sorry
    I'm sorry
    Honey, I'm sorry"

    ...at the end of the song. It's important

  10. t.... p....

    best break-up song going

  11. c.... r....

    Beautiful music I agree Ryan Adams is wonderful<3

  12. A.... ....

    The dial tone at the end breaks my heart... you realize she hung up on him.

  13. N.... L....

    "I am the one between the bars..." that Elliot Smith refrence though...classic.

    Moment of silence for the awesomest person I know. Thanks for the link - good lookin' out, as always.

    au contraire, his music is always about living. living with tragic triumphs and hard fought tragedy? certainly. But always living.

  30. l.... ....

    Gold is one of the best albums released in 2001.

  31. C.... O....

  39. w.... D....

    @ACUTS07 you think Ryan Adams' music era 2000 is like stuff written by a kid? So what about his song writing skills on Heartbreaker?

  40. s.... ....

    "now that the cuffs are off...." classic!! it does get better *sigh*

  41. r.... ....

    @ACUTS07 i respect your view but to say it sounds like music written by a kid is a bit strong.

  42. g.... ....

    The Gold CD. Can't get past it.
    I wore it out. I have had 2 or 3 different copies.
    Friends always take it and keep it.

  43. S.... ....

    @Archer785 living proof that it doesn't.

  44. T.... S....

    @Archer785 I've done three hours...but i knew I was pushing it.

  45. D.... H....

    @casalcdf loved it!

  46. D.... H....

    one of my favs heard it on an old episode of Felicity...

  47. E.... S....

    can't get any fucking better than this.

  48. A.... ....

    I love Ryan Adams... but listening to more then 2 straight hours of his music while drinking will result in suicide.

    A.... ....

    dont do it turn it off 1hour 45 into it get a budweiser and chill

  49. L.... B....

    love this song, amazing album!
