[Verse 1]
I laid it down, I left that life
Still chase the bottle when the room gets tight
Pain don't leave, it just changes clothes
Hide in the glass when the cold wind blows
Lost two dogs in a barn fire flame
Still hear that night when I say their names
Hands shook hard, thought I'd die that day
Smoke in my chest and I can't explain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I been trying
Trying to stay whole
But the hurt keeps calling
Deep in my soul
[Chorus]
My daughter saves me
My daughter saves me
She pulls me back
When I start to break
My daughter saves me
My daughter saves me
Love on my skin
Keeps me awake
[Verse 2]
I got three more kids and I hate that gap
Miss too many days and I can't get back
Phone stays quiet, my heart stays loud
Walking through shame in a faceless crowd
I ain't proud of the man I was
I just know fear and I know that buzz
Want to be better when they look my way
Want to give them more than the bills I pay
[Pre-Chorus]
And I been praying
For a cleaner start
For a way to stitch
These pieces of my heart
[Chorus]
My daughter saves me
My daughter saves me
She pulls me back
When I start to break
My daughter saves me
My daughter saves me
Love on my skin
Keeps me awake
[Bridge]
If I could turn that fire to ash
I would, I would, I would in a flash
If I could call back every lost goodbye
I would hold on tighter, I would try
But I got one small hand in mine
And that light keeps cutting through the blind
So I get up, yeah I get through
One day for me, one day for you
[Final Chorus]
My daughter saves me
My daughter saves me
She pulls me back
When I start to break
My daughter saves me
My daughter saves me
Love on my skin
Keeps me awake
My daughter saves me
My daughter saves me
I still might fall
But I won't stay gone
