Lately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody
has a private world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me, are you
trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me, I'm reaching out for
you
I'm just so fuckin' depressed
I just can seem to get out this
slump
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me
out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumps
Fell down and I got right
back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
In order for me to
pick that myself back up
I don't know how I pry away
And I ended up in this
position I'm in
I starting to feel distant again
So I decided just to pick
this pen
Up and tried to make an attempt to vent
But I just can't
admit
Or come to grips, with the fact that
I may be done with relationships
I
need a new outlet
I know some shits so hard to swallow
And I just can't
sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow
But I know one fact
I'll be one
tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
One
tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow
But you have to walk a
thousand miles
In my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to
be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like
to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's mind
Just to
see what we find
Look at shit through each other's eyes
But don't let
'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to
you sO
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked.
Just stay true to you
I think I'm starting to lose my sense of
humor
Everything is so tense and gloom
I almost feel like I gotta check
the temperature in the room
Just as soon as I walk in
It's like all eyes
on me
So I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that then it opens a
door to conversation
Like I want that...
I'm not looking for extra
attention
I just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the
room
Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need a fucking man
servant
Tryin to follow me around, and wipe my ass
Laugh at every single
joke I crack
And half of them ain't even funny like
Ahh Sean, you're
so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn
Unfortunately I am, but I
just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don't you all sit down
Listen
to the tale I'm about to tell
Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes
And
you don't have to walk no thousand miles
In my shoes, just to
see
What it's like, to be me
All be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see
what I'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's
mind
Just to see what we find
Look at shit through each other's
eyes
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get
fucked. Just stay true to you so
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you
Nobody asked for
life to deal us
With these bullshit hands they've delt
We have to take
these cards ourselves
And flip them, don't expect no help
Now I could have
either just
Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
But take this situation
in which I'm placed in
And get up and get my own
I was never the type of
kid
To wait but I know to unpack his bags
Never sat on the porch and hoped
and prayed
For a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit
in
Every single place
Every school I went
I dreamed of being that cool
kid
Even if it meant acting stupid
Aunt Edna always told me
Keep making
that face till it gets stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing
there
Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this
Till I stuck my tongue
on the frozen stop sign poll at 8 years old
I learned my lesson and cause I
wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole
life story
Not just based on my description
Cause where you see it from
where you're sitting
Is probably 110% different
I guess we would have to
walk a mile
In each other's shoes, at least
What size you where?
I wear
10's
Let's see if you can fit your feet
In my shoes, just
to see
What it's like, to be me
All be you, let's trade shoes
Just to
see what I'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each
other's mind
Just to see what we find
Look at shit through each other's
eyes
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get
fucked. Just stay true to you so
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you
Lately I've been
hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private
world
Where they can be alone...
Are you calling me, are you trying to
get through
Are you reaching out for me, I'm reaching out for you
so
Yea... To my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be home soon
And to
the rest of the world, god gave you the shoes
That fit you, so put em on and
wear em
And be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds
corny,
Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
