The quiet road

[Verse 1] He wore his silence like a worn-out coat Kept his hurt tucked deep, never let it show Smiled through storms, laughed through pain But inside, he was barely hangin’ on the reins [Verse 2] The world said, “Man up, don’t let ‘em see” So he broke down quietly, privately Each night a bottle, each day a bluff Till the weight got heavy and the ride got rough [Pre-Chorus] One late night, he hit the wall Dialed a friend, made that call… --- [Chorus] 🎶 I need some help, I’m losin’ ground Been drivin’ this life with the windows down But the wind cuts deep and the road’s gone cold I’m tired of actin’ like I’m bold It’s a long road, but I’ll take it slow With every mile, I’ll let it show I ain’t weak, I ain’t ashamed I’m just a man tryin’ to heal the pain 🎶 --- [Verse 3] Therapy talks and sleepless nights Learnin’ how to stand and pick his fights Some folks stayed, some walked away But he found peace in the mess and clay [Verse 4] Faced the past, let go the blame Learned that hurt don’t mean you’re lame Each scar a badge, each tear a song He’s still here, still ridin’ strong [Pre-Chorus] Now he walks with a slower pace But there’s fire back in his face… --- [Chorus] 🎶 I need some help, I’m losin’ ground Been drivin’ this life with the windows down But the wind cuts deep and the road’s gone cold I’m tired of actin’ like I’m bold It’s a long road, but I’ll take it slow With every mile, I’ll let it show I ain’t weak, I ain’t ashamed I’m just a man tryin’ to heal the pain 🎶 --- [Bridge] 🎶 If you’re out there feelin’ low Brother, you ain’t ridin’ solo Speak your truth, let it fly There’s no shame in sayin’ why 🎶 --- [Final Chorus] 🎶 We need some help, we’re losin’ ground Been drivin’ this life with the windows down But the wind cuts deep and the road’s gone cold We’re tired of actin’ like we’re bold It’s a long road, but we’ll take it slow With every mile, we’ll let it show We ain’t weak, we ain’t ashamed We’re just men tryin’ to heal the pain.
