Uh
Count me out, still up
The broken glass of a bottle makes a jagged rock bottom
Right now, I got two shaky hands, only one way to stop 'em
And I haven't touched a drop in seven hours, three minutes
Hardly sobered up, already wanna quit quittin'
Sweatin' in an old church basement, wishin' I was wasted
Never thought I'd say this
"Hello, my name is Jason"
And I've been losin' myself, I've been losin' my mind
And I been standin' in the rain just trying to stay dry
I was so ashamed to be in this seat
'Til I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, "Everybody's here's felt the same defeat"
Nobody walks through these doors through a winning streak
Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
The broken man in the mirror can't look at me 'cause he's guilty
And I swear that the last couple months, that motherf*cker tried to kill me
By the time I saw it comin', it was done with already
It's hard to run from it when it runs in the family
A problem with a thousand more it's causin'
Damn, this shit's exhaustin'
This is why I walked in
"Thanks for letting me share, y'all"
And I've been losin' myself, I've been losin' my mind
And I been standin' in the rain just trying to stay dry
I was so ashamed to be in this seat
'Til I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, "Everybody's here's felt the same defeat"
Nobody walks through these doors through a winning streak, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
I'm tired of bein' broken
I'm sick of feelin' hopeless
Way down here at my lowest
At the end of my rope, at the end of my rope
So what do I do?
So what do I do?
What do I do?
And I've been losin' myself, I've been losin' my mind
And I been standin' in the rain just trying to stay dry
I was so ashamed to be in this seat
'Til I met a man who was twenty years clean
He said, "Everybody's here's felt the same defeat"
Nobody walks through these doors through a winning streak
Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)

Burning
Mm, oh
I got violence on the brain, you know I learned to love the taste
Because it knows the bitter pain inside of me
Where there's smoke, you know there's fire, where there's fire, there's a liar
Sayin', "There's no hope to heal your broken dreams"
Singin', "Oh, Lord, won't you show me?
Show me there's some other way?"
Don't leave me burnin' here
In a fire all by myself, oh-oh
God knows I'm hurtin' here
We were cryin' out for help
Don't leave me beggin' for my life
'Cause I'm runnin' out of time
I'm just tryna find some kinda way to stay between the lines
I'm burnin' here, I'm burnin' here
With every high there comes a crash
With every love that doesn't last
It leaves you fallin' through the cracks into the ground
And all those wasted second chances keep you searchin' for the answer
Turns out shame is just another shade of doubt
Singin', "Oh, Lord, won't you show me?
Show me there's some other way?"
Don't leave me burnin' here
In a fire all by myself, oh-oh
God knows I'm hurtin' here
We were cryin' out for help
Don't leave me beggin' for my life
'Cause I'm runnin' out of time
I'm just tryna find some kinda way to stay between the lines
I'm burnin' here, I'm burnin' here
I'm burnin' here, I'm burnin' here
I got violence on the brain, you know I learned to love the taste
Because it knows the bitter pain inside of me
Where there's smoke, you know there's fire, where there's fire, there's a liar
Sayin', "There's no hope to heal your broken dreams"
Singin', "Oh, Lord, won't you show me?
Show me there's some other way?"
Don't leave me burnin' here
In a fire all by myself, oh-oh
God knows I'm hurtin' here
We were cryin' out for help
Don't leave me beggin' for my life
'Cause I'm runnin' out of time
I'm just tryna find some kinda way to stay between the lines
I'm burnin' here, I'm burnin' here
With every high there comes a crash
With every love that doesn't last
It leaves you fallin' through the cracks into the ground
And all those wasted second chances keep you searchin' for the answer
Turns out shame is just another shade of doubt
Singin', "Oh, Lord, won't you show me?

Heart of Stone
Dear Lord, can you help me? I've fallen out of graves
I'm crawlin' back to Heaven from this hell on earth I made
My blood has gotten heavy, there's metal in my veins
It's runnin' like the river, filled with all of my mistakes
On my knees, I'm lookin' up
I need a different kind of drug
I'm wide awake and I'm dreaming
Wonderin' where and when I fell apart
Oh, I fell apart
I had enough of my demons
Angels only meet you where you are
And I'm in the dark
Least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope
That somehow you can make a heart of gold
From this heart of stone (oh)
This heart of stone, mm-oh
Dear Lord, can you hear me? I'm shackled in these chains
I'm haunted by the lies of every time I said I'd change
I'm slippin' through the shadows, it's weighing on my soul
The lights are shinin' on me, but there ain't nobody home
On my knees, I'm lookin' up
I need a different kind of drug
I'm wide awake and I'm dreamin'
Wonderin' where and when I fell apart
Oh, I fell apart
I had enough of my demons
Angels only meet you where you are
And I'm in the dark
At least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope
That somehow you can make a heart of gold
From this heart of stone, this heart of stone
This heart of stone
'Cause I'm wide awake and I'm dreamin'
Wonderin' where and when I fell apart
Oh, I fell apart
I had enough of my demons (ooh-ooh-ooh)
But angels only meet you where you are
And I'm in the dark (oh)
At least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope
That somehow you can make a heart of gold
From this heart of stone
From this heart of stone
This heart of stone
'Cause I'm wide awake and I'm dreamin'
I'm crawlin' back to Heaven from this hell on earth I made
My blood has gotten heavy, there's metal in my veins
It's runnin' like the river, filled with all of my mistakes
On my knees, I'm lookin' up
I need a different kind of drug
I'm wide awake and I'm dreaming
Wonderin' where and when I fell apart
Oh, I fell apart

I Am Not Okay
I am not okay
I'm barely getting by
I'm losing track of days
And losing sleep at night
I am not okay
I'm hanging on the rails
So if I say I'm fine
Just know I've learned to hide it well
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done
I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay
But we're all gonna be alright
I woke up today
I almost stayed in bed
Had the devil on my back
And voices in my head
Some days it ain't all bad
Some days it all gets worse
Some days I swear I'm better off
Layin' in that dirt
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done
I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay
But we're all gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
I know one day
We'll see the other side
The pain'll wash away
In a holy water tide
And we all gonna be alright
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holding on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done
I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be alright
It's not okay
But we're all gonna be alright
I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be alright
I'm barely getting by
I'm losing track of days
And losing sleep at night
I am not okay
I'm hanging on the rails
So if I say I'm fine
Just know I've learned to hide it well
I know I can't be the only one

When The Drugs Don't Work
[ Featuring Ilsey ]
I know hopeless, I know broken
I know doors that keep on closing
I know high, that's for sure
I know face down on that floor, oh
That sun falls down
It's always gonna rise
And you know that's the way it goes every time
When the high's too high and the low's too low
And you want someone, but you wanna be alone
And the drugs don't work no more
Who's gonna drive you home?
When it shines so bright, but you know it ain't gold
And the city you love gets a piece of your soul
And the drugs don't work no more
Who's gonna drive you home?
I been a user, I been a thief
I been knocked down on my knees
I been hurt, I been shamed
I been the one who caused the pain
Oh, that sun falls down
It's always gonna rise
And you know that's the way it goes every time
When the high's too high and the low's too low
And you want someone, but you wanna be alone
And the drugs don't work no more
Who's gonna drive you home?
When it shines so bright, but you know it ain't gold
And the city you love gets a piece of your soul
And the drugs don't work no more
Who's gonna drive you home?
Ooh, I will, I will, I will
Say ooh, I will, I will, I will
When the drugs don't work no more
Who's gonna drive you home?
Oh
Who's gonna drive you home?
When the high's too high and the low's too low
And you want someone, but you wanna be alone
And the drugs don't work no more (oh)
When it shines so bright, but you know it ain't gold
And the city you love gets a piece of your soul
And the drugs don't work no more (oh)
Who's gonna drive you home?
Ooh, I will, I will, I will
Say ooh, I will, I will, I will
When the drugs don't work no more
Who's gonna drive you home?

Higher Than Heaven
[ Featuring Wiz Khalifa ]
It's my way out of the darkness
Smoke in my lungs, I can breathe
Some days, these days get too hard
And this world ain't where I wanna be
So, I, I roll up my problems, I know
It ain't gonna solve 'em, I
Light 'em up in a flame
Let it take me there, where I don't feel a thing
Yeah, I get higher than heaven
Higher than heaven to hide from myself
Oh-oh-oh, I get higher than heaven
Higher than heaven when I'm hurtin' right here
Wake up, bake up, roll one, another drink
Another pool, another bag, and it's full
Ain't the first or last one to do it
Gotta pass it to get through it
Goin' too fast when they movin'
I can't be sober to do shit
So I get higher than heaven
Higher than heaven to hide from myself
Oh-oh-oh, I get higher than heaven
Higher than heaven when I'm hurtin' right here
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Wake up, bake up, roll one, another drink
Another pool, another bag, and it's full)
No loss in my soul, no tears down my face
Yeah, up here alone, it all fades away
When I get higher than heaven
Higher than heaven to hide from myself
Oh-oh-oh, I get higher than heaven
Higher than heaven when I'm hurtin' like hell
It's my way out of the darkness
Smoke in my lungs, I can't breathe

Liar
I, I let you drive around my mind
I can't count the times you made me feel like I'm nothing
Played me like a fool, like a fool
Saying, "Drink another whiskey
Pop another pill
Money makes you happy
Heaven isn't real
You won't find nobody to love
Because your heart's too broke"
Now I know
You ain't nothin' but a liar
Yeah, I walk right out the fire
Yeah, you try to keep me down
Try to put me underground
But I'm only going higher
I can hear you in my head
In my bed when I'm dreamin'
You try to be my friend
But you're blowin' smoke
Oh, and now, I ain't scared of
Tellin' you where you can go
'Cause I know
You're nothing but a liar
You burned me one too many times
Like a devil in disguise, hiding your true colors
Just leave me alone
Keep leading me on
Saying, "Drink another whiskey
Pop another pill
Money makes you happy
Heaven isn't real
You won't find nobody to love

If I was doin' what you do
Then you would swear I poisoned you
You're nothing but a liar (liar)
Yeah, I walk right out the fire (fire)
Yeah, you try to keep me down

Everyone Bleeds
You can fly so close to Heaven
Make a million bucks or barely make a livin'
Riding high or down beggin' on your knees
Everyone bleeds, everyone bleeds just like me
Everybody lies, everybody picks one side
Everybody cries sometimes, it's just what it is
And everybody hurts, everybody cuts with words
Everyone don't get what they deserve, but all of us in the end
Go up and come back down, still want what we ain't
Faster as the sun goes around, I'm tellin' you now
You can fly so close to Heaven
Make a million bucks or barely make a livin'
Riding high or down beggin' on your knees
Everyone bleeds, everyone bleeds just like me
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I said just like me
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Oh
Everybody dreams, everybody loses sleep
Thinkin' 'bout the grass more green
Ain't we all the same?
Those mountain highs (mountain highs)
Those valley lows (valley low)
I lived them both (lived them both)
And one thing that I know
You can fly so close to Heaven (so close to Heaven)
Make a million bucks or barely make a livin' (barely make a livin')
Riding high or down beggin' on your knees (on your knees)
Everyone bleeds, everyone bleeds just like me (just like me)
I said just like me (I said just like me)
Just like me
Make a million bucks or barely make a livin'
Riding high or down beggin' on your knees
Everyone bleeds, everyone bleeds just like me
Everybody lies, everybody picks one side
Everybody cries sometimes, it's just what it is
And everybody hurts, everybody cuts with words
Everyone don't get what they deserve, but all of us in the end
Go up and come back down, still want what we ain't
Faster as the sun goes around, I'm tellin' you now

Get By
I light every bridge I see, yeah, just to watch it burn
If you'd seen all the hell I've seen, it'd make your stomach turn
I think you know
Why I do what I do when I do, mm
I could tell some stories 'bout some things you won't believe
It takes more than an album now to set this sinner free
I think you know
How I try when I try, Lord, I try
I might drink a little, I might smoke a lot
Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs to the big man in the sky
Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by (ooh)
Oh, that's how I get by (ooh, ooh)
Thousand miles of gravel, I've been walking with no shoes
No matter how far I come, I can't outrun my roots
I think you know
Why I do what I do when I do
I might drink a little, I might smoke a lot
Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs to the big man in the sky
Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by (ooh)
Oh, that's how I get by (ooh, ooh)
I might drink a little
That's how I get by
Counting down the good times
That's how I get by
Throw some hallelujahs

Show up Sunday morning smellin' just like last night, ah
I might drink a little (might drink a little), I might smoke a lot

Unpretty
Been a broken down car on the side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hm
I was praying for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
So many lies, I stopped countin'
Tryna walk a straight line felt like trynao move a mountain
And I was prayin' for change, would've died if I'da stayed the same, hm
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"
Been the whiskey glass left half empty
Seen the bright lights a few times and that's what saved me
Ain't no stranger to pain, the ones who love me all feel the same (oh)
With every one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh
I never thought I'd see the day when I forgive myself and say
"I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty (oh, Lord, I know)
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me"
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"
Say
"I am (I am) nothin' (nothin') without (without) my sins (my sins)
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty
Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hm
I was praying for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
So many lies, I stopped countin'
Tryna walk a straight line felt like trynao move a mountain
And I was prayin' for change, would've died if I'da stayed the same, hm
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"
Been the whiskey glass left half empty
Seen the bright lights a few times and that's what saved me
Ain't no stranger to pain, the ones who love me all feel the same (oh)
With every one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh
I never thought I'd see the day when I forgive myself and say
"I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty (oh, Lord, I know)
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me"
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"
Say
"I am (I am) nothin' (nothin') without (without) my sins (my sins)
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty

Grace
Oh, I met you between somewhere and nowhere
And only where the lonely roam
And we wander between midnight and sunrise
Just waitin' for the Holy Ghost
Oh-oh-oh, we still try
Oh-oh-oh, there's no lies
We find love in the heart of the darkness
And we find hope when the times are the hardest
We're just twisted minds and warning signs
We're broken just the same
When my devil meets your demons
We can find a little grace, a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Just a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's been hard rain
It's been heartaches and mistakes
Thinking no way we can carry on
I poison my own soul
I push you, you hold close
We're burning like coals
But our blood runs cold
We find love in the heart of the darkness
And we find hope when the times are the hardest
We're just twisted minds and warning signs
We're broken just the same
When my devil meets your demons
We can find a little grace, a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh, just a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We find love in the heart of the darkness
And we find hope when the times are the hardest
We're just twisted minds and warning signs
We're broken just the same
When my devil meets your demons
We can find a little grace, a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Just a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And only where the lonely roam
And we wander between midnight and sunrise
Just waitin' for the Holy Ghost
Oh-oh-oh, we still try
Oh-oh-oh, there's no lies
We find love in the heart of the darkness
And we find hope when the times are the hardest
We're just twisted minds and warning signs
We're broken just the same
When my devil meets your demons
We can find a little grace, a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Just a little grace
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's been hard rain

What It Takes
Ever been rock-bottom
At the bottom of a bottle?
And you're just all by yourself
Like you got a million reasons
To grab the .40 and squeeze it
Just to put an end to this hell
It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
There's a silver-tongued devil
Telling me that I'll never
Make it out the hole that I'm in
I'm runnin' out of options
Once it starts, I can't stop it
It's just a means to an end
It only numbs the pain
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes
It takes the soul out your body
The heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
At the bottom of a bottle?
And you're just all by yourself
Like you got a million reasons
To grab the .40 and squeeze it
Just to put an end to this hell
It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
There's a silver-tongued devil
Telling me that I'll never
Make it out the hole that I'm in
I'm runnin' out of options
Once it starts, I can't stop it
It's just a means to an end
It only numbs the pain
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes
It takes the soul out your body
The heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'

Hey Mama
Hey, mama
Hey, sweet boy, what are you doing?
I'm in the studio doing like some last-minute vocals
Okay, can you hurry up and get that song on done? I can't wait to hear it
I just wanna tell you I miss you, I love you
I miss you, bye
I'm sorry I missed your call
I lost service in Kennesaw
But I couldn't sleep one bit at all
Without your goodnight voice
I don't know where I'm headed next, but I
Wish it was my side of the bed, I
Still got a few stops left before
That's where these wheels point
Hey, mama, don't you know that my lonely needs you to hold and
One day these winds will blow me back in your direction
Hey, mama, wait for me, I'm still out here chasin' dreams
And one day this telephone thing won't be our one connection
I'm just doing what I gotta
Hey, mama, I'm still comin' home to you
We broke down outside of Lubbock
The damn bus, can't help but cuss it
These roads got its twists and turns, but I
I damn sure love it
The sunrise out of College Station
And all I know is my destination
Is nowhere near Tennessee
And that's where I need to be
Hey, mama, don't you know that my lonely needs you to hold and
One day these winds will blow me back in your direction
Hey, mama, wait for me, I'm still out here chasin' dreams
And one day this telephone thing won't be our one connection

Time of Day
[ Featuring mgk ]
Yeah
'Cause even a spotlight or a movie
Couldn't show the sight that I've been hiding lately
And lately
They say the old me's not the new me
But the same me's still inside that I'm containing
Unchain me
And I don't cry like I used to
'Cause I know these tears don't wash my sins away
And I don't pray like I used to
'Cause I don't think I deserve the time of day
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Listen, I'm sorry since you saw me
I've sawed through bones, took my heart out my body, mm
Have you forgot me?
'Cause I'm longing for the times when time was non-existent
Kaleidoscope eyes I envision
Combine our lives with a two-word sentence
You said, "I do," but I did not listen
And I don't cry like I used to
'Cause I know these tears don't wash my sins away (won't wash them away now)
And I don't pray like I used to (I don't pray, 'cause I)
'Cause I don't think I deserve the time of day
The cross I bear, I wear for my protection (wear for my protection)
Abandoned and I'm searching for a connection (searching for a connection)
I barely recognize my own reflection (it's my own reflection)
'Cause all I ever wanted was acceptance
I fear rejection
And I don't cry like I used to (I don't cry like)
'Cause I know these tears don't wash my sins away (wash my sins away)
And I don't pray like I used to (I don't pray no more)
'Cause I don't think I deserve the time of day
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Born Again
I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don't make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Been shaded in the shadow of doubt
So lost, thought I couldn't be found
Everybody tried to count me out
So that I can't lie
I barely got by by the skin of my teeth (ooh)
Sinkin' sand up under my feet (ooh)
And I'll be damned if I ever let the end of me (ooh)
Get the best of me, you see
I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don't make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Born to be born again
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bent down at the end of my rope
Hangin' on by the thread of my soul
Givin' up just ain't in my bones
I keep my head held high
'Cause ain't no climb that is ever too steep (ooh)
The waters rise, but they're never too deep (ooh)
And I'll be damned if I ever let the end of me (ooh)
Get the best of me, you see
I was born into struggle, born to survive
Born in a place that you don't make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I was born to be born again
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
Born to be born, born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
I was born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
Born to be born again
Can't kill a man, can't kill a man that was
You can't kill a man that was born to be born again
Born in a place that you don't make it out alive
They thought it was over, thought I was dead
But you can't kill a man that was born to be born again

Little Light
Alicia got high for the very first time
Floatin' in the sky, she'll never be the same again
Beers in her hand and laughin' at her plans
Stealin' her away from her family and all her friends
Two days turned to two months
Turned to too long, turned to too much
Heaven knows that I've been there before
I've been down the darkest road
Set fire to all my hopes
One thing I learned in life
Save room for a little light
I know you've been so close
To the edge of letting go
Before you say goodbye
Save room for a little light
Little Mike cried when he got that time
Gavel came down and he kissed his world goodbye
Knows and he prays to get out someday
But time feels frozen and he keeps losin' faith
Two days turned to two months
Turned to too long, turned to too much
Heaven knows that I've been there before
I've been down the darkest road
Set fire to all my hopes
One thing I learned in life
Save room for a little light
I know you've been so close
To the edge of letting go
Before you say goodbye
Save room for a little light
Save room for a little light
Floatin' in the sky, she'll never be the same again
Beers in her hand and laughin' at her plans
Stealin' her away from her family and all her friends
Two days turned to two months
Turned to too long, turned to too much
Heaven knows that I've been there before
I've been down the darkest road
Set fire to all my hopes
One thing I learned in life
Save room for a little light
I know you've been so close

Hear Me Out
I got a buddy that's been in and out of rehab
He's got a problem with the bottle and a brown bag
I haven't seen him since his momma passed
I don't think he really got over that
Now it's one, two, three in the mornin'
There's four missed calls on my phone
So I call back to see what he wanted
Just bein' a friend, and that's when he said
"Hear me out
You don't know all the pain I'm feelin'
Tell me how I always feel like something's missin'
I'd make a sound, but what's the point if no one's listenin'?
Hear me out, hear me out"
I seen a girl that I knew back in high school
I heard she had a couple kids with the wrong dude
CoverGirl on her face with a fresh bruise
She don't wanna dance, but she has to 'til
One, two, three in the mornin'
She's a good mom, but nobody knows it
When she gets home at the end of the night
With tears in her eyes, that's when she cried
Hear me out
You don't know all the pain I'm feelin'
Tell me how I always feel like something's missin'
I'd make a sound, but what's the point if no one's listenin'?
Hear me out, hear me out
Oh, I've been lower than low, stuck in the loneliest place
Oh, I cried over and over, I still have nights when I pray
And I say
"Hear me out
You don't know all the pain I'm feelin' (know what I'm feelin')
Tell me how I always feel like something's missin'
I'd make a sound, but what's the point if no one's listenin'?
Hear me out (hear me out), hear me out
Hear me out, you don't know all the pain I'm feelin'"
He's got a problem with the bottle and a brown bag

You know I would die (you know I would die, oh) before losin' you (losin' you)
So give me that strong love, good love
Darling, whatever you do
Don't let me come down from you
Don't let me come down from you

Smile So Much
I prayed for calmer waters, God gave me taller waves
I didn't understand it 'til I wound up findin' strength
I kicked rocks at the bottom like tin cans on the street
You name it, man, I fought and learned to turn the other cheek
Lot of hell thrown at me, lot of people ask me
"How are you so happy?"
If you'd seen all the tears I've cried
You would know why I smile so much
Fought the hate I fight, you would know why I try to love
Even when it's hard, even when it feels like fallin' apart
If you'd seen all the tears I've cried
You would know why I smile so much
Smile so much
You would know why I smile so much
I've felt my momma's struggles
I've watched my brothers bleed
I've had nights that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
When you make it out the shadows, you wanna be alive
Every day's a blessin' when you shouldn't be alive
Lot of hell thrown at me, lot of people ask me
"How are you so happy?"
If you'd seen all the tears I've cried
You would know why I smile so much
Fought the hate I fight, you would know why I try to love
Even when it's hard, even when it feels like fallin' apart
If you'd seen all the tears I've cried
You would know why I smile so much
Smile so much
If you'd seen all the tears I've cried
You would know why I smile so much
Fought the hate I fight, you would know why I try to love
Even when it's hard, even when it feels like fallin' apart
If you'd seen all the tears I've cried
You would know why I smile so much
Smile so much
You would know why I smile so much

My Cross
Your blood is my blood and pours and runs deep
Knowing you're mine scares the hell outta me
'Cause hurt is a sickness and trauma is too
And I'd rather die than to pass it to you
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's my cross to carry, won't be yours to pick up
I hope to God you don't get my addictions
Don't deal with my demons, make my decisions
Yeah, I hope the apple falls far from the tree
And the sins of the father stop right here with me
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's my cross to carry, won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pass down
And when you make mistakes on your own
I hope that you know you'll never go through it alone
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's my cross to carry, won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up
Knowing you're mine scares the hell outta me
'Cause hurt is a sickness and trauma is too
And I'd rather die than to pass it to you
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's my cross to carry, won't be yours to pick up
I hope to God you don't get my addictions
Don't deal with my demons, make my decisions
Yeah, I hope the apple falls far from the tree
And the sins of the father stop right here with me
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's my cross to carry, won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pass down
And when you make mistakes on your own
I hope that you know you'll never go through it alone
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal
My pain to bear, not your to feel
I pray every day I can love you enough
It's my cross to carry, won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up
Won't be yours to pick up

What's Wrong With Me
It took a real long time for me to see
But I'm alright with what's wrong with me
No, I ain't found the light, at least now I see
That I'm alright with what's wrong with me
What's wrong with me
Trust me, I don't know the first bit
About being flawless and perfect
If only you knew all the worthless I fought
Covered my arms up with cursive
To cover the thoughts I was cursed with
Guess I just hated the person I saw
That mirror was no friend to me
Was my own worst enemy
'Til I found a way to move on
And sing a new song
It took a real long time for me to see
But I'm alright with what's wrong with me
No, I ain't found the light, at least now I see
That I'm alright with what's wrong with me
What's wrong with me
What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong
What's wrong with me
What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong
Found out I fit in with the misfits
And I feel the same as the different
Just had to learn how to live with myself
Finally makin' some peace with
All of my jagged edged pieces
I booked a ticket, I'm leavin' this hell
That mirror was no friend to me
Was my own worst enemy
'Til I found a way to move on
And sing a new song
It took a real long time for me to see
But I'm alright with what's wrong with me
No, I ain't found the light, at least now I see
That I'm alright with what's wrong with me
What's wrong with me
What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong
What's wrong with me
What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong
But I'm alright with what's wrong with me
No, I ain't found the light, at least now I see
That I'm alright with what's wrong with me
What's wrong with me
Trust me, I don't know the first bit

If only you knew all the worthless I fought

Take A Bow
[ Featuring Halsey ]
[Jelly Roll]
Congratulations
I'm miles away again from saving
Guess I'm a f*ck-up in the making
I guess it's 'bout time that I face it
I almost tasted
The freedom when the chains were breaking
Then you put me right back in your cage and
All for your own entertainment
[Jelly Roll & Halsey]
So take a bow
You pulled the wool over my eyes
You promised me the highest of highs
Made me feel like I'd never come down
So take a bow
You flew me all the way to Heaven
And dropped mе at the door of Hell and
Made all thе fallen angels proud
So take a bow
[Halsey]
I'll be in the gutter tryna crawl out if you need me
I couldn't watch you bleeding
Like you were eyes closed, speeding
Without a single warning
And now you keep pretending like the ending of the story
Wasn't all your performing
Was any better for me
[Jelly Roll & Halsey]
Now take a bow
You pulled the wool over my eyes
You promised me the highest of highs
Made me feel like I'd never come down
So take a bow
You flew me all the way to Heaven
And dropped me at the door of Hell and
Made all the fallen angels proud
So take a bow
[Halsey & Jelly Roll]
Hope that you're having fun now that you're number one
I got nowhere to run, yeah, the deed has been done
You're the star of the play, I guess I'm just the stage
Let me get out your way
[Jelly Roll & Halsey]
Take a bow
You pulled the wool over my eyes
You promised me the highest of highs
Made me feel like I'd never come down
So take a bow
You flew me all the way to Heaven
And dropped me at the door of Hell and
Made all the fallen angels proud
So take a bow
[Halsey & Jelly Roll]
So take a bow
You pulled the wool over my eyes
You promised me the highest of highs
Made me feel like I'd never come down
So take a bow

Don't Want To
[ Featuring Keith Urban ]
I miss you, I need you, but only when I'm weak
Yeah, sometimes my past life still got a hold on me
And just 'cause I ain't reaching for the bottle
And I ain't got a smoke between my lips
Oh, just 'cause I ain't tryna numb my sorrows
With any kind of vice, I ain't tried yet
Don't mean I don't want to
Don't mean I don't feel like it sometimes
Don't mean I don't crave it and taste it in every corner of my mind
Just 'cause I ain't tempting that temptation or lighting up that fuse
Don't mean I don't want to
Don't mean I don't want to
Mmm
My battle, my shadow ain't ever far from me
It's moment by moment, damn, it's always gonna be
And just 'cause I ain't reaching for the bottle
And I ain't got a smoke between my lips
Oh, and just 'cause I ain't running from my problems
Or cashing in my good luck for a hit
Don't mean I don't want to
Don't mean I don't feel like it sometimes
Don't mean I don't crave it and taste it in every corner of my mind
Just 'cause I ain't tempting that temptation or lighting up that fuse
Don't mean I don't want to
It don't mean I don't want to, no, no (hey)
Oh, and just 'cause I ain't running from my problems
And cashing in my good luck for a hit
Don't mean I don't want to
Don't mean I don't feel like it sometimes
Don't mean I don't crave it and taste it in every corner my of my mind
Just 'cause I ain't tempting that temptation or lighting up that fuse
Don't mean I don't want to
Don't mean I don't want to

Devil Down
[ Featuring ERNEST ]
Devil down, devil down, devil down
I can't put that devil down
I picked it up again last night
Round after round, I lost the fight
Now every day's a gamble, my whole life's been a scandal
Tryna get me back on track, but there ain't no holding that
Devil down, devil down, devil down
I can't put that devil down
Devil down, devil down, devil down
I can't put that devil down
Well, I drove my truck right down the road
And I wound up stuck where I shouldn't go
Oh, I'm running down them white lines, they're telling me them white lies
Like tonight'll be the end 'til I do it again
Devil down, devil down, devil down
I can't put that devil down
Devil down, devil down, devil down
I can't put that devil down
Lord, help me now, I ain't that strong
I tried to quit, can't get 'em gone
When he calls my name
I can't walk away
Devil down, devil down, devil down
I can't put that devil down (I can't put that devil down)
Devil down, devil down, devil down (I tried to put it down, but I can't put that devil down)
I can't put that devil down
I can't put that devil down

Really Gone
[ Featuring Russ ]
In the silence I can hear you
In the night sky I can see you
Didn't then, now I believe you
That it ain't the end
Even though I can't be near you
I still feel you holding on
Just because you left don't mean you're really gone
Yeah, we had a good thing, didn't we?
And now we out here runnin' different streets
I'm afraid to even try to drink the whiskey neat
I pour one out for the monster inside of me
Ridin' through the southside, gettin' numb
You was there before I had anyone
I never thought you'd leave so soon
Memories in the drawer up in my bedroom
I used to hate God sometimes
And I still do some nights
When I'm tryna make it make sense
Staring up having conversations
In the silence I can hear you
In the night sky I can see you
Didn't then, now I believe you
That it ain't the end
Even though I can't be near you
I still feel you holding on
Just because you left don't mean you're really gone
Just because you left don't mean you're really gone (yeah)
How do I explain that I'm still f*cked up 'bout you? (F*cked up)
I wish I could move on, but I don't know how to (oh)
'Member riding 'round north Atlanta 'til around 2
That felt like the last time that my feet were on the ground too
Ever since then, I feel like I float, float, float, float
Ever since then, I just been on go, go, go, go
I thought you'd never disappear, I was wrong
But to be honest, girl, you ain't really gone
I wonder where you at right now
But then I look and realize you're all around
Oh, you're all around me, yeah
In the silence I can hear you
In the night sky I can see you
Didn't then, now I believe you
That it ain't the end
Even though I can't be near you
I still feel you holding on
Just because you left don't mean you're really gone
Just because you left don't mean you're really gone
Just because you left don't mean you're really gone

Past Yesterday
[ Featuring Skylar Grey ]
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
Her mom and daddy trusted
That neighbor she grew up with
They were working days and nights
So he took her home from school sometimes
One day when she came home
It looked like she saw a ghost
She snuck up to her room to cry
With a lifelong scar to hide
(Yeah, life goes on)
(That's okay)
Young enough for princess posters
Suddenly she's lifetimes older
He stole the innocence from her
Before she knew the meaning of the word
Hours in the shower steam
Still she never felt clean
As she curls into a ball
Some things you can't wash off
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
A few paths in life she could take
But not one of them I could blame
Finding every way to numb
Finding ways to overcome
I pray that God will right that wrong
And she'll find a way to carry on
'Cause you ain't the hell that you've been through
You're more than what's been done to you
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
In those corners, you'll find that you're broken and scared
There's no one by your side, still all your angels are there
At your lowest of lows, when life's been cruel and unfair
I just hope that you know all your angels are there
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight

Lonely Road
[mgk]
Lonely road
Take me home
Take me home
Lonely road
I'ma go downtown
Ain't been in a long time
I'm takin' back Sundays
Since you took away my life (Since you took away my life)
There's some things that I know now (Mm)
Couple songs that I'd rewrite (Yeah)
Start over like Mondays
Pourin' strong on a weeknight (Mm)
See, I hear the devil wears Prada, but I couldn't read the tags
And your horns started showin' when I seen you mad
But I'll wait for you 'cause this is not the face I knew
I probably could've saved us, but instead, I let us crash
'Cause I don't trust no one to love me back, but shе say, "I do"
And this is not the place for you
[mgk & The Castellows]
Lonely road, takе me home
To the place that we went wrong
Where'd you go now?
It's been a ghost town
And I'm still here all alone
[Jelly Roll & mgk]
When the days feel long and the nights get cold
And I'm thousands of miles away (Ah-ah-ah)
I use alcohol just to fill that hole
Will our home ever be the same?
[Jelly Roll]
I hear the devil wears Prada, but I couldn't read the tags
And your horn started showin' when I see you mad
But I'll wait for you 'cause this is not the face I knew
And I probably could've saved us, but instead, I let us crash
'Cause I don't trust no one to love me back, but you say, "I do"
And this is not the place for you

Lonely road, take me home
To the place that we went wrong
Where'd you go now?
It's been a ghost town
And I'm still here all alone
[mgk, mgk & Lily Balkcom, Jelly Roll]
And if you could salvage my soul
Would you sacrifice this life to not die alone?
'Cause even a palace ain't home without you
So I might leave here soon, but I wanna leave you this song
(Hey)
[mgk & The Castellows, Jelly Roll]
Lonely road (Lonely road)
Take me home (Won't you take me home?)
To the place (To the place) that we went wrong
Where'd you go now? (Where'd you go now?)

(This lonely road) Yeah, I'm on this road now
(This lonely road) Feeling so alone
