And I saw it coming up like a freight train
And I saw it coming like no one was to blame
And you have been there for me so many years
Encouraged me, caught my tears

And I know it’s so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know it’s not going to get easy soon
Know it’s so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know…

If you need some shoulder
I’ll be there for you if you can’t walk on your two feet,
You have been there for me for so many years
Encouraged me, caught all my tears
So many knives in my back,
You’re my only friend
And now the table’s turned,
You’ve been let down
And now the table’s turned,
And you’ve been let down

And I know it’s so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know it’s not going to get easy soon
Know it’s so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know…

Dark clouds are forming inside
Dark clouds are inside
You can’t be there for me,
So I will be there for you
I’ll pick you up and take you on if you need to
And you can’t be there for me,
So I will be there for you
I’ll pick you up and take you on…

And I know it’s so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know it’s not going to get easy soon
Know it’s so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know…
