Lyrics
I see you at the liquor store Leavin' with the cheapest can of beer on the shelf You ain't livin' on the street, but you barely making rent And I relate because I'm strugglin' myself I see you smile at the clerk, while you fumble through your purse I just wish I had a little more to help I imagine where you livin', how you feelin', what you love And who you'll be if you can make it out your hell I see you at the bus stop, lookin' at the sidewalk Smokin' half a cigarette, waitin' for a ride Kinda limp when you walk, and look away when you talk You're ashamed, I can see it in your eyes Probably got a Nascar shirt, and a car that you love But you're here 'cause you're too afraid to drive It's been almost 10 years since the day that you crashed Can't forget about the little boy's life Everybody's got a story, if you look a little closer You can see it in the wrinkles in they face They can hide it in the silence, they can bury it and fight it But it comes out when their hair is turnin' gray You can feel it if you touch them, you can tell that they are troubled You can hear the story runnin' through they veins We all travel different roads, and we put on different clothes Underneath it all we're really all the same We've all got problems and we all feel alone We've all been haunted by the secrets we hold We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones We've all got problems and we all feel alone We've all been haunted by the secrets we hold We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones I see you sittin' on the front porch Playing with a radio, lookin' to the sky Probably livin' in that house all alone these days Tryin' to find a better way to pass time Got a wheelchair ramp leadin' up to the door I can see that you walk just fine Probably hate it 'cause it isn't gettin' used anymore And you only ever built it for your wife Everywhere that I walk, see you on the sidewalk Beggin' for a little loose change for some dope Probably got a mama and a papa spendin' everything they make Tryna clean you up enough to take you home Used to have a good job, used to get good grades Used to have big dreams, then you lost hope When your girlfriend died givin' birth to your son You're the father that he'll probably never know Everybody has a tale that their too afraid to tell You can see it in the cracks in their hands They can cover it with smiles if you walk a couple miles in their shoes Then you'll know where they stand Everyone who really lived had to climb out of a ditch They were in before they found the right path If you wanna know the truth about what we been goin' through Then try to put your phone away so you can ask We've all got problems and we all feel alone We've all been haunted by the secrets we hold We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones We've all got problems and we all feel alone We've all been haunted by the secrets we hold We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones We are, the neighbors that you'll never meet We are, the strangers walkin' down your street We are, a million faces in the crowd We are, the ones the system's tearin' down We are, the people workin' to survive We are, more than just our 9 to 5's We are, the shoppin' malls and street cars We are one, it's time to tell them just who we are We've all got problems and we all feel alone We've all been haunted by the secrets we hold We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones We've all got problems and we all feel alone We've all been haunted by the secrets we hold We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones We've all got problems and we all feel alone We've all been haunted by the secrets we hold We could fill our coffins with the rocks they have thrown Or we could build our castles with the sticks and the stones
