verse
Riding high, when I was king
I played it hard and fast, 'cause I had everything
I walked away, but you warned me then
But easy come, and easy go, and it would end
verse
So, any time I bleed, you let me go
Yeah, any time I feed you, get me? No?
Any time I seek, you let me know
But I plan and see, just let me go
chorus
'Cause I'm beggin', beggin' you
And put your loving hand out, baby
And put your loving hand out, darling
verse
An empty shell, I used to be
The shadow of my life was hanging over me
A broken man that I don't know
Won't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul
verse
What we doing? What we chasing?
Why the bottom? Why the basement?
Why we got good shit, don't embrace it?
Why the feel for the need to replace me?
You're the wrong way track from the good
I want to paint a picture telling where we could be at
Like a heart in the best way should
You can give it away, you had, and you took the pay
bridge
I'm fighting hard to hold my own
Just can't make it all alone
I'm holding on, I can't fall back
I'm just a calm 'bout to fade to black
