There's a man who stands alone
Never had much, so he's cold to the bone
Every day is dark, every night darker
Month to month of loneliness, so the years just get harder

Out to chase his dreams, but it didn't all work out
All full of his worst fears and living with self-doubt
Now he's got nothing, family won't even take his call
But you don't understand 'couse you've never risked it all
And he cries

They don't understand all the pain I feel
They don't know all these scars I conceal
They don't see all these tears in my eyes
They don't hear my struggle, so they don't care why I cry

There's a woman who sits alone
Tragedy struck her family, now she's all alone
Every day she wonders, every day she remembers
Whole of the heartache on the third of September

Out to see the world with her husband and son
But a man didn't see light, oh it was a hit-and-run
So now she's got nothing, still in shock by it all
But you don't understand 'couse you've never lost it all
Yes you never had it all and lost it all

And she cries
They don't feel the pain I feel
They don't know about the scars I conceal
They don't see the tears in my eyes
They don't hear my struggle, so they don't care why I cry
No no, they just don't understand
