📝 LYRICS:

Verse 1

She found me at the bottom of a bottle in December

Pulled me out, dried me off, said "I'll stay if you remember

That I'm not here to save you, I'm just here to walk beside"

But my demons walked faster and they never had to hide

She'd leave lights on when I was gone, leave notes on the door

Tell me "come back to me" like I hadn't heard that before

And I meant it every morning when I swore I'd change my ways

But by nightfall I was back in the same old haze

Pre-Chorus

She never asked for much from me, just that I'd try

Just that I'd look her in the eyes and not just lie

But the devil I'd been drinking with had known me longer than she had

And he don't ask for promises, he don't expect me to be a man

Chorus

I loved her more than my demons, but my demons loved me first

They knew exactly where to hit, they knew my every curse

She'd patch me up and send me out and pray I'd make it home

And every time I didn't, I died a little more alone

I loved her more than my demons, but that don't mean a thing

When your demons are the only ones who know the songs you sing

She sang a different melody, one I couldn't learn

So I went back to the only tune that didn't make me burn

Verse 2

She'd drive me to the meetings, wait outside in the car

Read a book, knit a scarf, stare up at the stars

And I'd sit inside on a folding chair and say my name out loud

And pretend that I was different from the rest of the crowd

But I'd see her through the window, patient as the moon

And I'd think "she deserves better than coming back soon"

I'd think "she deserves someone who doesn't fight this war"

Someone who doesn't need to be saved, someone who wasn't born

Already half-devoured, already half-undone

Already running from the dark before the day'd begun

Pre-Chorus

The night I finally lost her, I didn't even drink

I just looked in her eyes and saw the last bridge sink

She said "I can't watch you kill yourself a little more each day

I can't keep loving you enough for both of us, babe"

Chorus

I loved her more than my demons, but my demons loved me first

They knew exactly where to hit, they knew my every curse

She'd patch me up and send me out and pray I'd make it home

And every time I didn't, I died a little more alone

I loved her more than my demons, but that don't mean a thing

Outro

I heard she married someone clean

Someone whose hands don't shake

Someone who doesn't need a meeting

Just to stay awake
