Long hard road

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
