If it wasn’t for the ones I love
I wouldn’t be here today
Each night I go through a million different endings
But don’t wan’t them to live with more pain
Sometimes I drive with no destination
Just me and the sound of the road
It’s the only place I can quiet my mind
Where the silence don’t feel so alone
Instead I carry the pain on my back
Each day struggling to make it through
So I can go home and lie awake all night
Till the window lets the sunlight through
Pain is not s’posed to be given
I handed it out too easy in the past
Looking back that’s not something I’m proud of
Wonder how long that feeling will last
I could line people up for miles
Apologize to each one at a time
At the end of my life I still wouldn’t get to
The hurt at the end of the line
My kids think I’m stronger than I am
They don’t see the cracks in my smile
But I’d walk through hell with bare feet
Just to give ’em peace for a little while
There’s people I’ve hurt that will never heal
That’s a heavy weight I have to bear
When their pain gets too much and they need some help
I would do anything to be right there
Pain is not s’posed to be given
I learned that the hardest way
Still carryin’ ghosts I can’t outrun
But I face them every day
If I could line ’em up the hearts I broke
I’d hold their hands and I’d never lie
But I know I’ll still fall short before
I get to the hurt at the end of the line
If it wasn’t for the ones I love
I wouldn’t still be around
But they give me just enough reason
To keep my two feet above ground
If I could line ’em up the hearts I broke
I’d hold their hands and I’d never lie
But I know I’ll still fall short before
I get to the hurt at the end of the line
