The Road You Travelled

VERSE 1 You arrived so innocent Born into a troubled home Third in line to pay the price For sins that weren't your own You learned to walk a lonely road And hold your pain inside Never seen for who you were Or the tears you learned to hide VERSE 2 One man took your broken dreams And loved you through it all But the trucking roads kept calling him Each time the night would fall The walls became your prison cell The clock, your closest friend Loneliness would hold your hand 'Till he was home again CHORUS No one understands you No one sees your heart They only see the pieces Not where they fell apart You spent a lifetime searching For somewhere to belong People judge the surface Not the road you travelled on VERSE 3 The years kept stealing pieces Till a stranger stood there The mirror showed a weary face The weight too much to bear The heart beneath the battered soul Still longing to be free Calling out through all the years "Why can't you just see me" BRIDGE A heart that's bruised and beaten Still beats beneath your pain You tried to see the good in life Though it knocked you down a gain Lonely and not understood You always keep your smile You never see your life as hard You'd still go that extra mile FINAL CHORUS I've looked into your eyes And I would never call you weak You're made up of broken pieces And every part unique I've seen the scars you're hiding Though you cover them so well Behind your laugh and chatter Lies a story only you can tell OUTRO You never asked for anything You quietly moved along But your life leaves lasting footprints Long after you are gone Mmmm Mmmm
