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
