**
*(Chorus)*
You don't know the hell I've been through
You don't know the price I've paid
Can’t see the walls I’m bracing, time I’m facing, all my days
Every bit of man I once was
Every bit of love that I could’ve had
Living in a moment, setting into motion all the fears I’ve had
*(Verse 1)*
Growing up, no one there for me
Just a brother who’d beat my ass, never let me be
A dad who didn’t give a shit, left me lost in the dark
While my brother got help, I was just a broken spark
Started stealing from family, they already hated me
Broke my heart, so I broke others, no love left to see
Drinking at a young age, drowning in the pain
In and out of jail, trapped in this fucking game
Found a girl I loved, thought she’d be my light
But she messed around, left me alone in the night
Never found love again, just a shadow of hope
Met another girl, thought she’d help me cope
But the past came back; my ex tore us apart
Got back with the bitch who already broke my heart
*(Chorus)*
You don't know the hell I've been through
You don't know the price I've paid
Can’t see the walls I’m bracing, time I’m facing, all my days
Every bit of man I once was
Every bit of love that I could’ve had
Living in a moment, setting into motion all the fears I’ve had
*(Verse 2)*
Now I’m sitting here, regretting my choice
Left the girl I loved just to hear my ex’s voice
Now she’s with someone else; I’m empty inside
Thinking of the love I lost, drowning in the tide
Hiding from the cops for over two years
Caught me because of her, now I’m drowning in fears
Went to court, judge said, “Son
You’ve got a little dope; now your time is done.”
*(Chorus)*
You don't know the hell I've been through
You don't know the price I've paid
Can’t see the walls I’m bracing, time I’m facing, all my days
Every bit of man I once was
Every bit of love that I could’ve had
Living in a moment, setting into motion all the fears I’ve had
*(Bridge)*
Now I gotta turn myself in on the fifteenth
Thirty days in hell, drowning in my grief
Take it from me, I’ve taken a week to feel free
But never a thing, don’t know a thing to fix me
Stuck in my head now, get me the hell out
Life’s a game I don’t wanna play; it played me without a doubt
Lost in my ways, I’m angry and afraid
Pissed off at the world, feeling betrayed
Nobody help me, I’m not cold; I’m empty
Just a soul in the dark, yearning for plenty
*(Outro)*
You don't know the hell I've been through
You don't know the price I've paid
Can’t see the walls I’m bracing, time I’m facing, all my days
Every bit of man I once was
Every bit of love that I could’ve had
Living in a moment, setting into motion all the fears I’ve had
