Lagu yang sangat2 dekat dengan struggle dan realiti pahit seorang bergelar suami dan ayah.
Lirik:
(Verse 1)
They never knew the pain I’ve been through
Every single day I swear I barely made it through
Thought after years the storm would fade away
But every new sunrise brings another wave
Bills on the table and the pressure on my chest
Working like a slave but they say I’m doing less
Ten years grinding, breaking bones for the pay
Still living like a man who just started yesterday
(Verse 2)
My wife doesn’t see the war inside my head
She only sees the things that I never did
Complaining that I’m never home enough
But she never sees the road has been so rough
Never says hello, never asks if I’m okay
Never sees the weight that I carry every day
Says the money’s never ever good enough
But she never thanks the man that’s giving up
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought a decade would give me something more
But I’m still standing at the same locked door
Watching everybody else fly high above
While I’m still buried in the dirt and mud
(Chorus)
I’m drowning in the noise inside my head tonight
Trying just to breathe but nothing feels right
Everybody winning while I’m stuck in the fight
God tell me when my life will finally change
I’m screaming but the world just walks away
Trying to survive another broken day
I just want my family smiling someday
Is that too much for me to pray?
(Verse 3)
I see my friends taking flights overseas
Posting pictures living life with ease
Ten thousand salary every month they earn
While I’m still waiting for my turn
I wanna take a trip, just once in my life
Pack a bag and bring my kid and my wife
But dreams are expensive and pockets are dry
So I just smile and pretend I’m fine
(Verse 4)
My car is older than the dreams I had
Tiny little box that barely fits the fam
I just want a ride where my son can sleep
Where my wife feels safe on a long highway trip
SUV or sedan I don’t even care
Just something better than the life we share
So I can drive them anywhere they want
Without the fear that the engine stops
(Bridge)
Even when the holidays arrive again
I’m counting coins just to make it end
Eid is coming but I’m standing still
Praying someday I can pay the bill
I wanna give them everything they ask
But every year feels like another test
(BREAKDOWN)
Why does it feel like the world’s against me?!
I’ve been fighting since the day that I could breathe!
Every dream that I try to chase
Turns into another slap in the face!
God if you’re listening hear my cry!
I’m so damn tired of this life!
(Final Chorus)
I’m drowning in the noise inside my head tonight
Trying just to breathe but nothing feels right
Everybody winning while I’m stuck in the fight
God tell me when my life will finally change
I’m screaming but the world just walks away
Trying to survive another broken day
I just want my family smiling someday
Is that too much for me to pray?
