[Verse 1] You saw me shaking in the rain Called it weakness, called it shame Didn’t ask what broke my hands Didn’t see the fall I couldn’t stand You saw the bottle in my coat Not the years I tried to float Not the nights I fought my name Not the fire under all my pain [Pre-Chorus] Don’t point your finger From your clean safe seat You don’t know the basement Or the hole beneath [Chorus] Walk in my shoes Before you choose Live one day as me Then speak the truth (oh, walk in my shoes) I was hurting I was human too See through my eyes Before you choose [Verse 2] My mother cried behind the door My brother quit calling anymore I wore my hurt like torn-up skin Every day I swore I’d win You call it failure, call it loss I call it scars I had to cross If you knew the weight I carry still You’d stop and listen, stay a while [Pre-Chorus] Don’t point your finger From your clean safe seat You don’t know the basement Or the hole beneath [Chorus] Walk in my shoes Before you choose Live one day as me Then speak the truth (oh, walk in my shoes) I was hurting I was human too See through my eyes Before you choose [Guitar solo | melodic | fast picking] [Bridge] One bad turn Then another One more day Just to suffer If you saw What I have seen You might love Who I’ve been [Final Chorus] Walk in my shoes Before you choose Live one day as me Then speak the truth (oh, walk in my shoes) I was hurting I was human too See through my eyes Before you choose Walk in my shoes Don’t turn away See through my eyes Learn my name (oh, walk in my shoes)
