Prompt / 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
