"Worst Of Me" lyrics

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
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
