Worst Of Me

Every dive bar, every dance hall
Every first taste to 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
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
Throwin' out the stories half-written in my mind
You helped me leave the worst of me behind

Every time I lost a battle
Every fall out 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
Throwin' 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
