It's been a long dark road but I remember when it meant the world to me, It's been a long dark day and a cold black night and it still gets hard to see, 'Cause they don't know me and they never will, It's been a long dark road I still remember why it took so much out of me, It's a shallow pond we're swimming in and it makes it hard to breath, 'Cause they don't know me and they never will No they don't know why or how it feels to live It's been a long dark road and I rememeber skies that weren't so a hard to see, It's been a long dark day and I remember nights that made me, me 'Cause they don't know me and they never will And they don't know why or how it feels to live
