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 fall out of the saddle
Every empty road I traveled
That didn't lead me home
Every one more year growing 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 story
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
