Trading Shoes
He's gone,
Put away
You never knew it would happen to someone close to you
I can't relate
But I imagine the miles walked in your shoes
She left and never came back
Left for someone else to raise you
The hole in your heart feels both love and hate
No, I can't relate
But I imagine the miles walked in your shoes
You fell in love and thought he loved you
Menstral flow a few weeks late
Months later, left you and the baby too
No, I can't relate
But I can imagine the miles walked in your shoes
Bills due
Stress is high
Nothing left but a prayer and faith
Yes, I can relate
Can you imagine the miles walked in my shoes
Waking up everyday
Trying to hide the pain
That shows all over you
Yes, I can relate
Can you imagine the miles walked in my shoes
Others blinded by the smile given by you
Rendering lies to hide the truth
When you and God knows exactly what you're going through
Yes, I can relate
Can you imagine the miles walked in my shoes
