(short hook) Shut the door, (Open the heart) Same old pain, (Right from the start.) ............................................................... (Intro + spoken monologue) (spoken during harmonica intro): "Life ain't no picnic — someone once told me that. (oOO) No one's gonna pave your path, no map, no hat.(oOO) So lift your head, and face the light,(oOO) Keep walking forward — through the night.(oOO) ....................... aA Sometimes I fear I’ll run out of flame, So I keep two of everything — just in case. But life? I’ve only got one name. One shot. One space. So I try to see the good, not just complain, Grateful for the joy — and even the pain. I look above, eyes open wide — Mama, are you watching from the other side? I’m writing you a song — from deep inside. Just me, my heart, and this melody to ride" (First short hook) Shut the door, Open the heart, Same old pain, Right from the start. . It don’t get easier, (feels the same) That’s the path my fate has framed. (Verse 1) What are these days, so silent outside? But inside my head, there's a storm I can’t hide. Yeah, I just wanted peace, now I’m scared of the calm, Dreamin’ of escape but I got no other land to call home. No day, no night, I can’t close my eyes, Tried to chase money, but I paid the price. Yeah... My heart beats hard when the sorrow arrives, Hits like a bomb, no chance to survive. So I sip more memory , wipe dust off the frames, Scroll through old pics, whisper your name. Don’t wanna forget the face I adore, My mind and my heart are waging a war. Are you mad or tired? I can’t tell the line, It’s so damn thin, gets blurred every time. In my dreams, I still see years with you, But I wake up alone with the same old view If we meet in the next world, will you say “I remember”? Still hurts me, mama, like it’s late December. I know I hurt you, my dearest one, No room for friends, just me, your son. You covered me when I was warm, You woke me up just before the storm. You gave more than I ever deserved, And I screamed... yeah, I got on your nerves. Then I said sorry, felt a bit ashamed, It’s hard, I’m tired, I’m not the same. You got offended, turned like a stranger, Now I see myself — mirror full of anger. Crying out tears I can’t explain, Punchin’ walls just to numb the pain. (Hook) Shut the door, Open the heart, Same old pain, Right from the start. Just woke up, Still feelin’ drained, Cravin’ your hug, That kiss again. It don’t get easier, feels the same, That’s the path my fate has framed. (Verse 2) Here it comes, that crazy flame, Zero control, playin’ the game. One, two — losin’ my grip, Ain’t the same crowd, I’ve lost that clique. Three bros — who’s watchin’ me, who’s watchin’ her? Here it comes again, mind’s a blur. Five days straight, I’ve been down, Countin’ steps before I make a frown. Friday, Saturday — tryin’ to reset, He’s in grief, play it cool — no sweat. Eight thoughts a minute, can’t share ‘em all, Only with you I could let them fall. Here it comes, disappointment’s sting, Heartbeat skippin’ everything. At least nine times every hour, By ten I’m still up, fightin’ the power. yo… (here it comes again) (Verse 3) Didn’t know what’s wrong or right, Raise a glass, toast the night. Been locked in bed for days on end, Another look another smile , tryin’ to pretend. Still lying to myself inside, Where’s that crew I kept by my side? Now they’re gone, afraid of the mess, This is the time that truly tests. (Outro) What’s allowed, what’s a sin? Can I sit in a restaurant or stay locked in? Drive somewhere far or be alone in my room? Decided to speak, let truth resume. Where I write it — it’s raw and real, This is me, live it or deal, That’s who I am, just sayin’ it loud, Here it comes — I’m finally proud. Nice to meet you… I’m me now. (Hook – repeat) Shut the door, Open the heart, Same old pain, Right from the start. Just woke up, Still feelin’ drained, Cravin’ your hug, That kiss again. It don’t get easier, feels the same, That’s the path my fate has framed. (Hook – repeat) Shut the door, Open the heart, (oOO) Same old pain, Right from the start. (oOO) Just woke up, Still feelin’ drained, (oOO) Cravin’ your hug, That kiss again. (oOO) It don’t get easier, feels the same, That’s the path my fate has framed. (oOO) (oOO) ...
