I've never walked in your shoes.

I know your life ain't fair,
            Dm               Bb
I know it's damn near killed you.

You've been through hell,
              Dm              Bb
You blame yourself, a painful past you can't forgive.

You had no help,

But time will tell if it's a curse or it's a gift.

Like a scarlet letter.
