Walk

Walk.
I dare you.
Walk in my shoes.
I dare you.

You wouldn't last a day
You wouldn't last a minute
You wouldn't last a second

You wanna know why?
I'll tell you.
I'll teach you, how to not judge
I'll teach you what its like
To really Walk.

Did you ever hold your mom
As she cried late at night?
Did you ever feel betrayed
When your friends left your side?
Did you ever want to run away
When your family is at fight?
Did you ever want to understand
Why life is such a butt?

Did you ever have to deal
With your sister running away?
Did you ever have to deal with 
Your brother being locked away?
Did you ever think of how to go on living
With not a soul to guide you?
Did you ever try to understand
What i really feel like inside?

You talk about yourself
As if you own my life
I'm sick and tired 
Of how you act that way

And now as your standing on the edge
You feel how hard it is.
So I dare you.
Walk.
I dare you!
Walk in my shoes!

You wouldn't last a day
You wouldn't last a minute
You wouldn't last a second

So walk.
I dare you.
Walk in my shoes.
I dare you.

WALK!
