But, I know we’re goin’ under, if we don’t save us from goodbye
Save us from goodbye

VERSE 2

Layin’ in that bed, we might as well be miles apart

VERSE 2

I can’t lie, sometimes I’ve wondered how it’d be

I was lost in the wilderness
I wasn’t sure where to go

Then, as soon as I turned towards faith
His love and mercy overflowed
I knew in that moment
I had found the promised road
Oh, oh, oh, oh…….……the promised road

VERSE 2

I spent so many wasted years
Trying to fix the broken in me

And I gave him my life

And when I went astray, his love would be my guide

CHORUS

All those late nights, pourin’ ‘em straight nights
Letting one shot, lead to four

We’re kissing our way to the door
Exes or lovers, can’t make up our minds
Depends on if we’re sober, come closing time
Come closing time

But, the rules change when the sun goes down
Old habits, they die hard when we’re tipsy
We’re back in the sheets, blaming it on the whiskey

Our passion lights a fire
Tippin’ ‘em back, we go sideways fast
Givin’ into our desire

Didn’t know I would need
And it’s because of you
My life is now complete

Some say time is the enemy, but I consider time a friend

Cuz, when I retrace my footsteps, I see his footprints on my every path
Yeah, my every path

VERSE 2

I’m at peace with gettin older, but, I’m aware there’s a price to pay

On my every path

CHORUS

If you were here holdin’ me, I’d make my intentions clear
Everything my heart, longed to say, I’d whisper in your ear
If you were here lovin’ me, I wouldn’t be layin here broken
Cryin’ tears of regret, ‘cause, I love you went unspoken

VERSE 2

I should’ve shared my feelings, deep inside, my soul wanted to
I should’ve told you, that forever was what I was seein’ with you
But, the last guy, he was out the door, the second that I tried
Oh, I thought that proved, bein’ vulnerable was my kryptonite

But, words were always the enemy, sadly, not this time

CHORUS

If you were here holdin’ me, I’d make my intentions clear

Wipe me from your memory, completely erase me
Looking the other way’s just what I do
Cuz, baby, I don’t wanna face the truth
Face the truth

He thought he was the one holdin’ on,
But, he’s a prisoner in its grip
The temptation, it’ll always be around
But, not Daddy. He couldn’t put the bottle down
The bottle down, down, down

BRIDGE

I Thought Seein’ my pain would’a changed his thinkin’
I guess he just stopped tryin, or didn’t know how
To fight off his demons and put the bottle down

CHORUS

The eighty proof ain’t the answer
He got fooled into thinkin it is
He thought he was the one holdin’ on,
But, he’s a prisoner in its grip
Temptation, it’ll always be around
But, not Daddy. He couldn’t put the bottle down
