“We Bleed and We Hurt”
Song Lyrics (copyright © 2025)

Out on the highway.
The sun setting low.
Got a heart full of scars.
But I’ll never let it show.

These boots on my feet.
They walk through the fire.
Underneath the tough skin is a heart full of desire.
People think we’re strong like we never feel pain.
But I’m here to tell you we all dance in the rain.

We bleed and we hurt just like men do.
Behind every smile there’s a story so true.
We carry the weight.
We carry the scars.
Underneath the bravado we’re just who we are.

So pour me a whiskey.
Let’s toast to the night.
To the battles we face.
To the struggles we fight.

Broken love letter crumpled in my hand.
Thought I was tough but I couldn’t withstand.
With each passing day I’m learning to feel.
It’s okay to be weak.
It’s okay to heal.

The world keeps spinning, but I stand my ground.
With a heart full of courage.
I’ll never back down.

We bleed and we hurt just like men do.
Behind every smile there’s a story so true.
We carry the weight.
We carry the scars.
Underneath the bravado we’re just who we are.

So pour me a whiskey.
Let’s toast to the night.
To the battles we face.
To the struggles we fight.

So let them see the tears.
Let them hear the pain.
We’re not made a stone.
We got so much to gain.
With every crack in our armor we learn to be brave.
It’s the wounds that define us.
It’s love that we crave.

We bleed and we hurt just like men do.
Behind every smile there’s a story so true.
We carry the weight.
We carry the scars.
Underneath the bravado we’re just who we are.

So pour me a whiskey.
Let’s toast to the night.
To the battles we face.
To the struggles we fight.
So here’s to the fighters and the tears that were shed.
To the hearts that we carry.
To the words left unsaid.

We bleed and we hurt.
But we rise from the fall.
Together we stand.
Together we’ll fall.
