Heavy Shoulders
by Hittman_D92
Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up with the weight
On my back again
Bills in the drawer
And a crack in the plan
They see the face
They don't see the fight
Smilin' through days
That don't treat me right
I keep it quiet
Let the room talk loud
Shoulders stay bent
But I don't back down
Every hard mile
Got my name on it
Every dark hour
Still, I claim progress
Pre-Chorus
I been misunderstood
Too many times
Still I hold my ground
Still I keep my line
If the day gets mean
I don't fold, I rise
One step, one breath
I survive
Chorus
Heavy shoulders, still I move
Heavy shoulders, still I move
I been bruised, but I don't lose
I been bruised, but I don't lose
Keep it going, keep it true
Keep it going, keep it true
Hard days break, but I break through
Hard days break, but I break through
Verse 2
Mama said, "Boy, don't you let it show"
So I wore that mask
Like a second coat
Carried folks' hurt
Like it was my own
Took a few hits
Still I came home
Ain't every scar
Something I can explain
Some nights I smile
To hide the pain
But I got a fire
That won't sit still
If life keeps pressing
I keep my will
Pre-Chorus
I been misunderstood
Too many times
Still I hold my ground
Still I keep my line
If the day gets mean
I don't fold, I rise
One step, one breath
I survive
Chorus
Heavy shoulders, still I move
Heavy shoulders, still I move
I been bruised, but I don't lose
I been bruised, but I don't lose
Keep it going, keep it true
Keep it going, keep it true
Hard days break, but I break through
Hard days break, but I break through
Bridge
If I fall, I learn
If I break, I bend
All these nights don't last
They don't get to win
Hands in the dirt
Heart still on high
Even when it hurts
I won't say goodbye
Chorus
Heavy shoulders, still I move
Heavy shoulders, still I move
I been bruised, but I don't lose
I been bruised, but I don't lose
Keep it going, keep it true
Keep it going, keep it true
Hard days break, but I break through
Hard days break, but I break through
