Prompt / Lyrics
Woke up this morning with a weight on my chest Like the world’s on my back and it won’t let me rest Mirror don’t show me the man I should be Just a tired old soul staring back at me Verse 2 Bills on the table and dust on my dreams Every road I take ain’t as easy as it seems I’ve been holding on to what I can’t see Praying there’s more than what’s left of me Pre-Chorus Yeah, I’m walking a line on the edge of breaking down But I ain’t turned around Chorus It’s a long hard road, yeah you’re giving all you got Some nights it feels like it just ain’t enough All the weight, all the hurt, all the miles inside But you try your best just to stay alive And that fight in your chest, yeah it won’t let go It’s the only thing keeping you on this road Verse 3 There’s a past that follows everywhere I go Like a shadow in the dark I can’t outrun slow Every scar’s got a story I don’t wanna tell But they built who I am, yeah they made me this hell Pre-Chorus Yeah, I’ve been lost, yeah I’ve been down this far But I’m still where you are Chorus It’s a long hard road, yeah you’re giving all you got Some nights it feels like it just ain’t enough All the weight, all the hurt, all the miles inside But you try your best just to stay alive And that fight in your chest, yeah it won’t let go It’s the only thing keeping you on this road Bridge (stripped, emotional peak) If there’s a light, I ain’t seen it yet But I ain’t done fighting, I ain’t done with it Yeah, I bend, I break, but I don’t fold There’s a fire in me they can’t control Final Chorus (lift it slightly hopeful) It’s a long hard road, yeah you’re giving all you got And one day you’ll see it was enough All the weight, all the hurt, all the miles behind Gonna fade like shadows over time Yeah, that fight in your chest never let you go It’s the reason you’re still on this road
