Every dive bar, every dance hall, every first taste of the last call, every soft place fora hard fall, every lie told through my teeth, every get high just to lay low, every timeI 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 andonly you were there, throwing out the stories half written in my mind, you helped me leavethe worst of me behind.Every time I lost the battle, every fallout of the saddle, every empty road I traveledthat 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 andonly you were there, throwing out the stories half written in my mind, you helped me leavethe worst of me behind.I don't know that I was broken or just in need of repair, until I looked around andonly you were there, you saw in me the promise that I could never find, you helped me leavethe worst of me behind, you helped me leave the worst of me behind.you
