She was wild like a river, runnin’ fast and free,
Eyes like a storm cloud, cuttin’ right through me.
A little bit crazy, but Lord, I didn’t care,
I’d hold her in the moonlight, tangled in her hair.
She’d laugh like a fire, then cry like the rain,
Dancin’ with her demons, hidin’ all her pain.
I tried to be her anchor, but the chain wouldn’t hold,
Loved her through the madness, till it took her soul.
(Chorus)
And now they blame me for her fall,
Say I should’ve saved her from it all.
But I loved her fierce, through the highs and the lows,
Where her heart went, only God knows.
They point their fingers, they curse my name,
But I’d love her crazy all over again.
(Verse 2)
She’d wake up screamin’, chasin’ ghosts in the dark,
I’d pull her close, try to steady her heart.
Whiskey on her breath, she’d swear she was fine,
But I saw the cracks in that fragile mind.
I begged her to stay, said, “Darlin’, don’t go,”
But her eyes were far off, like a place I didn’t know.
One night she slipped out, left a note by the door,
Found her in the river, she ain’t hurtin’ no more.
And now they blame me for her fall,
Say I should’ve saved her from it all.
But I loved her fierce, through the highs and the lows,
Where her heart went, only God knows.
They point their fingers, they curse my name,
But I’d love her crazy all over again.
Folks in this town, they don’t understand,
How a broken heart slips through your hands.
They say I drove her to that cold, dark end,
But I was her lover, not her sin.
Every night I see her in the stars up above,
Still feel her laughter, still feel her love.
I carry her weight, though it’s tearin’ me apart,
Her crazy was the fire that burned up my heart.
And now they blame me for her fall,
Say I should’ve saved her from it all.
But I loved her fierce, through the highs and the lows,
Where her heart went, only God knows.
They point their fingers, they curse my name,
But I’d love her crazy all over again.
Yeah, I’d love her crazy… till the end of my days,
Walk through their whispers, through the hurt and the haze.
She was my wildfire, my beautiful pain,
And I’ll carry her with me, till I see her again.
