Lyrics
[Intro]
[soft violin over sparse fingerpicked guitar]
[Verse 1]
When I was down low
Sleeping in my same old clothes
Ash in the sink
Bills on the table
Talking to ghosts in the radio
You found me half-broke
Staring through the window smoke
You poured coffee
Said my name once
Like it wasn’t just a bad joke
[Chorus]
You helped me up when I couldn’t stand
Pulled the glass right from my hand
Held my shaking
Said
“Just breathe”
Sat in the dark and stayed with me
I was somebody I didn’t know
You saw the part I couldn’t show
I wouldn’t be me
I wouldn’t be me without you
[Verse 2]
I tried to push back
Told you
“Go
Don’t you catch what I have?”
You just laughed that tired laugh
Said
“You’re not your worst day
You’re more than that”
You taped my letters
Together like a broken spine
Read them softly
Word for word
Till the voice in my head sounded kind
[Chorus]
You helped me up when I couldn’t stand
Pulled the glass right from my hand
Held my shaking
Said
“Just breathe”
Sat in the dark and stayed with me
I was somebody I didn’t know
You saw the part I couldn’t show
I wouldn’t be me
I wouldn’t be me without you
[Bridge]
All of my jagged edges
All of my almost goodbyes
You never asked for better
You just stayed on my side
[Chorus]
You helped me up when I couldn’t stand
Pulled the glass right from my hand
Held my shaking
Said
“Just breathe”
Sat in the dark and stayed with me
I was somebody I didn’t know
You saw the part I couldn’t show
I wouldn’t be me
I wouldn’t be me without you
I wouldn’t be me
I wouldn’t be me without you

rock, Dusty alt-country ballad with male vocals, brushed snare, warm upright bass, and soft piano under a mournful fiddle intro. Fingerpicked electric and acoustic guitars weave close to the vocal, which sits low and almost spoken in the verses, then opens slightly in the chorus with gentle harmonies. Subtle organ swells and a late-song violin counter-melody deepen the ache and lift., pop, violin, low, sad, vocal, country
