You Don’t Know How It Feels Lyrics in English
You Don’t Know How It Feels
Verse 1:
You’ve never walked in my shoes, never felt my pain,
You think you know it all, but you’re just playing a game,
You judge me from a distance, but you don’t understand,
The battles I’ve fought, the scars on my hands.
Pre-Chorus:
You say you know my story, but you’re missing the truth,
You think you have the answers, but you’re just aloof,
I’ve been through the fire, I’ve been through the rain,
But you’ll never know how it feels, the weight of my pain.
Chorus:
You don’t know how it feels, to be broken inside,
To hide all your tears, to swallow your pride,
You don’t know how it feels, to fight every day,
To keep pushing forward, when you’ve lost your way.
Verse 2:
You see a smile on my face, but it’s just a disguise,
I’ve mastered the art of pretending, to cover up the lies,
You think you have me figured out, but you’re so wrong,
There’s a whole other side, a story that’s been long gone.
Pre-Chorus:
You say you know my story, but you’re missing the truth,
You think you have the answers, but you’re just aloof,
I’ve been through the fire, I’ve been through the rain,
But you’ll never know how it feels, the weight of my pain.
Chorus:
You don’t know how it feels, to be broken inside,
To hide all your tears, to swallow your pride,
You don’t know how it feels, to fight every day,
To keep pushing forward, when you’ve lost your way.
Bridge:
I’ve walked through the darkness, I’ve faced my fears,
I’ve climbed mountains, wiped away countless tears,
But you’ll never know, the strength that I’ve found,
To rise from the ashes, to stand on solid ground.
Chorus:
You don’t know how it feels, to be broken inside,
To hide all your tears, to swallow your pride,
You don’t know how it feels, to fight every day,
To keep pushing forward, when you’ve lost your way.
Outro:
So, before you judge me, before you cast your stone,
Remember, you don’t know how it feels, to walk alone,
I’ve fought battles you can’t even comprehend,
But I’ll keep fighting, until the very end.
