"Hard Pill To Swallow XL" lyrics
There's a long road in front of ya
There's a hard life behind ya
There's a war been waged inside ya
You got big footsteps to follow
You got a soul that's pretty hollow
And that's a hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
When you were younger, just a bother, always felt so scared
Didn't know how to take it, but you always dared
And now you try to act like you never cared
Feelin' halfway guilty 'cause my life was spared
It feels just like a curse and I'm always to blame
Shivers down my spine when I say your name
Since I was a kid, you been bigger than fame
I'd like to see the scar that you put in my brain
Early in my life, I was put to the test
I had to make some choices or forget about the rest
And when I speak this fire, you get nothin' but the best
Let me tell you somethin' that you better not forget
There's a long road in front of ya
There's a hard life behind ya
There's a war been waged inside ya
You got big footsteps to follow
You got a soul that's pretty hollow
And that's a hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
The trauma from your mama, nearly twenty years old
And your father made it harder with the soul that he sold
You know where they both went and you're ready to go
What happened? How did everything turn so cold?
We can talk about it 'til I'm turnin' blue in the face
I can laugh about it, joke about it never the same
I can't keep pretendin' it don't cause any pain
It's a never-endin' cycle that just can't be tamed
Early in my life, I was put to the test
I had to make some choices or forget about the rest
And when I speak this fire, you get nothin' but the best
Let me tell you somethin' that you better not forget
There's a long road in front of ya
There's a hard life behind ya
There's a war been waged inside ya
You got big footsteps to follow
You got a soul that's pretty hollow
And that's a hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
There's a hard life behind ya
There's a war been waged inside ya
You got big footsteps to follow
You got a soul that's pretty hollow
And that's a hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
When you were younger, just a bother, always felt so scared
Didn't know how to take it, but you always dared
And now you try to act like you never cared
Feelin' halfway guilty 'cause my life was spared
It feels just like a curse and I'm always to blame
Shivers down my spine when I say your name
Since I was a kid, you been bigger than fame
I'd like to see the scar that you put in my brain
Early in my life, I was put to the test
I had to make some choices or forget about the rest
And when I speak this fire, you get nothin' but the best
Let me tell you somethin' that you better not forget
There's a long road in front of ya
There's a hard life behind ya
There's a war been waged inside ya
You got big footsteps to follow
You got a soul that's pretty hollow
And that's a hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
The trauma from your mama, nearly twenty years old

Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow
Hard pill to swallow, whoa
