lyrics

My Shoes

Have you ever had to walk away
From someone you had promised your whole life to
Have you ever had to face your fears, bear the tears
And wonder how you’d ever get it right
Have you ever had to close your eyes
Have you ever had to realize
That nothing lasts forever and a day
Well I’ve done what must be done
I’ve chased the moon and sun
Have you ever had to do what I’ve done

Did you ever have to hold your ears
Pretending that the cries you hear were always there
Have you ever had to re-explain, take the blame
And wonder how you’d ever get it right
Have you ever had to justify
Look that person in the eye
That someone you had promised everyday
Well I’ve done what must be done
I’ve chased the moon and sun
Have you ever had to do what I’ve done

CHORUS: Everybody has an answer
Everybody takes a side
Everybody has a ticket
On that never-ending ride
And the old adage is true
Until you’ve walked a mile in my shoes
(you don’t know) Well I do

Did you ever feel the finger point
At everything you felt was meant to happen
Did you ever have to close the door on what went before
And wonder how you’d ever get it right
Did you ever tear your heart in half
Did you ever forget how to laugh
Cause nothing lasts forever and a day
Well I’ve done what must be done
I’ve chased the moon and sun
Have you ever had to do what I’ve done
CHORUS

Until you’ve walked a mile in my shoes
You don’t know just what it’s like
You might call it indiscretion
You might think you’ve got it right
You can draw your own conclusions
Every situation’s new
And no one really knows what I’ve been through
But I do


Did you ever have to sacrifice
The safety of a home you worked so hard for
Did you ever have to pack it in, start again
And wonder if you’d ever get it right
Did you ever have to exit blind
Did you ever have to leave behind
The treasures you had gathered everyday
Well I’ve done what must be done
I’ve chased the moon and sun
Have you ever have to do what I’ve done
Cause no one really knows what I’ve been through
But I do
