Stovall

I found you passed out
In your room on the floor
There was mud on top your favorite shoes
A few more steps and you'd have made it
To your bed but sometimes
A few more steps is hard

It's hard to do

Before you make a mess of your face
Let's go a few drinks back
To when you swore you'd change
When I tried so hard to clench your shakin' frame
God, I know you would've killed her
If I let you

But I wouldn't let you do that
I can't watch you make it right
I tried to look away, but I
Don't know what makes me look back
Now I'm closin' that fence
I guess I finally got some sense
You can call me when you're finished
If you're ever finished with this

You disappeared to the bathroom and asked
If I'd hold your purse 'til you get back
These drugs will be the death of us
At least whatever's left of us
We'll find a new lie to believe
So you can finally get some sleep
You always knew how to keep me here
All I ever wanted was to leave

(Before you make a mess of your face)
To let go
(Let's go a few drinks back)
It's all I ever wanted
(To when you swore you'd change)
All I ever wanted was to leave

(And I tried to hard to clench your shakin' frame)
To let go
(God I know you would've killed her)
It's all I ever wanted
(If I let you)
All I ever wanted was to leave

They found you makin' love
In your room on the floor
That was me on top of you
A few more steps and we'd have made it
To your bed, but sometimes
A few more steps is hard to do
