  • I thought I shook myself free
    You see, I bounce back quicker than most
    But I'm half delirious, it's too mysterious
    You walk through my walls like a ghost
    And I take every day at a time
    I'm proud as a lion in his lair
    Now there's no denying it, and no decrying it
    You're 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 inanities, such insanities
    I'm lost like a kid and I'm late
    But I've never taken your calls
    You see, I put the block on my phone
    I act like an addict, I just got to have it
    I never can leave it alone

    Yeah, 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

    Mm, mm
    Mm, and I can't give you up
    Can't leave you alone
    And it's so hard, so hard
    And now it's hard enough to feel the pain

    (Old habits die hard)
    Old habits die hard
    Old habits die hard
    And harder than November rain
    Old habits die hard
    Mm, old soldiers just fade away
    Old habits die hard
    And hard enough to feel the pain

    Mm
    Old habits die hard
    Yes, they do
    Old soldiers just fade away
