== Lyrics ==
[Chorus]There's a long road in front of yaThere's a hard life behind yaThere's a war been waged inside yaYou got big footsteps to followYou got a soul that's barely hollowAnd that's a hard pill to swallow
[Post-Chorus]Hard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallow, woah
[Verse 1]When you were younger, just a bother, always felt so scaredDidn't know how to take it, but you always daredAnd now you try to act like you never caredFeeling halfway guilty 'cause my life was sparedIt feels just like a curse and I'm always to blameShivers down my spine when I say your nameSince I was a kid, you been bigger than fameI'd like to see the scar that you put in my brain
[Pre-Chorus]Early in my life, I was put to the testI had to make some choices or forget about the restAnd when I speak this fire, you get nothing but the bestLet me tell you something that you better not forget
[Chorus]There's a long road in front of yaThere's a hard life behind yaThere's a war been waged inside yaYou got big footsteps to followYou got a soul that's barely hollowAnd that's a hard pill to swallow
[Post-Chorus]Hard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallow, woah
[Verse 2]The trauma from your mama nearly twenty years oldAnd your father made it harder with the soul that he soldYou know where they both went and you're ready to goWhat happened? How did everything turn so cold?We can talk about it 'til I'm turnin' blue in the faceI can laugh about it, joke about it never the sameI can't keep pretending it don't cause any painIt's a never-ending cycle that just can't be tamed
[Pre-Chorus]Early in my life, I was put to the testI had to make some choices or forget about the restAnd when I speak this fire you get nothing but the bestLet me tell you something that you better not forget
[Chorus]There's a long road in front of yaThere's a hard life behind yaThere's a war been waged inside yaYou got big footsteps to followYou got a soul that's barely hollowAnd that's a hard pill to swallow
[Outro]Hard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallow, woahHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallowHard pill to swallow, woah
