Every dive bar, every dance hall, every first taste of the last call, every soft place for
a hard fall, every lie told through my teeth, every get high just to lay low, every time
I couldn't say no, every chance I had to let go of who I thought I'd be.
I don't know that I was broken or just in need of repair, until I looked around and
only you were there, throwing out the stories half written in my mind, you helped me leave
the worst of me behind.
Every time I lost the battle, every fallout of the saddle, every empty road I traveled
that didn't lead me home, every one more year grown older, every heart I let get colder,
every devil on my shoulder saying I'm better off alone.
I don't know that I was broken or just in need of repair, until I looked around and
only you were there, throwing out the stories half written in my mind, you helped me leave
the worst of me behind.
I don't know that I was broken or just in need of repair, until I looked around and
only you were there, you saw in me the promise that I could never find, you helped me leave
the worst of me behind, you helped me leave the worst of me behind.
