[Verse 1]
I grew up in a one-light town,
Dusty roads and skies of brown.
Mama prayed, but I still fell down—
The bottle called, and I stuck around.
Every scar tells a story, every ache's a brand,
Trying to hold the weight of this man.
[Chorus]
It’s hard being me,
I got so many demons in my past.
So many tears,
Too many heartbreaks that didn’t last.
Disappointments stack,
No faith in humans to set me free.
It makes it hard to be me,
So hard.
[Verse 2]
The fields don’t whisper, they scream my name,
Every plow I pushed feels the same.
A love once bloomed, now it’s just a flame—
Burning low, I’m the one to blame.
The mirror shows a face I barely know,
But the cracks in it, they help me grow.
[Prechorus]
Oh, the nights are long,
And the whiskey’s strong.
But my heart don’t heal,
When the world feels wrong.
[Chorus]
It’s hard being me,
I got so many demons in my past.
So many tears,
Too many heartbreaks that didn’t last.
Disappointments stack,
No faith in humans to set me free.
It makes it hard to be me,
So hard.
[Bridge]
If I could lay it down, let the burdens go,
Trade the sorrow for seeds to sow.
But I’m chained to the man I’ve always been,
A sinner who can’t quite begin again.
