[Hook: Paul Rodgers]
Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world where they can be alone
Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

[Eminem]
I'm just so [bad word] #39; depressed, I just can seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump but I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my [bad word]  took my lumps, fell down and I got right back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up and the right thing for me to pick that mic back up
I don't know how I pry away and I ended up in this position I'm in
I starting to feel distant again so I decided just to beat this pain
Up and tried to make an attempt to vent but I just can't admit
 [bad word] to grips, with the fact that I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet
I know some [bad word] so hard to swallow and I just can't sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow but I know one fact, I'll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow, copy one tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow but you have to walk a thousand miles

 [bad word] 
In my shoes, just to see, what it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes, just to see what it'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine, go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find, looking [bad word] through each other's eyes
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get [bad word]  just stay [bad word] to you
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get [bad word]  just stay [bad word] to you

I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor, everything is so tense and gloom
I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room just as soon
As I walk in it's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation like I want that...
I'm not looking for extra attention, I just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room, maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need no [bad word] man servin' tryin to follow me around, and wipe my [bad word] 
Laugh at every single joke I crack and half of them ain't even funny like that
Ahh Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be [bad word]  god [bad word] 
Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don't you all sit down, listen to the tale I'm about to tell
 [bad word]  we don't have to trade our shoes and you don't have to walk no thousand miles

 [bad word] 

Nobody asked for life to deal us with these [bad word] hands with doubt
We have to take these cards ourselves and flip them, don't expect no help
Now I could have either just sat on my [bad word] and [bad word] and moaned
But take this situation in which I'm placed in and get up and get my own
I was never the type of kid to wait but I know to unpack his bags
Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed for a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit in every single place, every school I went
I dreamed of being that cool kid even if it meant acting stupid
Aunt Edna always told me keep making that face till it gets stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing there holding my tongue up trying to talk like this
Till I stuck my tongue on the frozen stop sign poll at 8 years old
I learned my lesson then cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life story not just based on my description
Cause where you see it from where you're sitting is probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile in each other's shoes, at least
What size you where? I wear tens, let's see if you can fit your feet

 [bad word]
