Verse 1
[Devil]
You out here late, son, you okay?
That road gets dark this far away
Verse 1
[Man]
Yeah, I’m good, just needed space
Tryin’ to outrun yesterday
Ain’t lost, just passin’ through
Feels easier than tellin’ you
Pre-Chorus
[Devil]
You look like you’re carryin’ more than you should
Pre-Chorus
[Man]
Guess I always have
Guess I always would
Chorus
[Devil]
You ain’t alone
[Man]
Sure feels that way
[Devil]
Someone’s there
[Man]
Don’t hear ‘em say
[Devil]
You’ll be alright
[Man]
I’m tryin’ my best
[Devil]
Smilin’ outside, dyin’ in my chest
Verse 2
[Devil]
You ever miss the boy you were?
Back when life felt whole?
Verse 2
[Man]
Yeah, but thinkin’ ‘bout those days
Opens doors I can’t close
I wanna feel that freedom again
But those memories hurt more than they mend
I keep my hands busy, don’t let ‘em rest
Idle time puts weight on my chest
I read the Bible, letters in red
But faith feels quiet when hope feels dead
Chorus ( Voice 2 and -Voice 1)
[Devil]
You don’t gotta fight this fight alone
[Man]
Been doin’ that since I was young
[Devil]
There’s still time
[Man]
Feels like none
[Devil]
Just hold on
[Man]
Lord knows I tried
I’m still standin’, but somethin’ inside has died
Bridge
[Man]
I’ve done things I ain’t proud to say
Tried to numb the hurt every way
Whiskey nights, bad decisions
Carried ‘em all like a life sentence
World on my shoulders, boots in the dust
Still pushin’ forward ‘cause I have to, not ‘cause I trust
Bridge (soft)
[Devil]
Man… please don’t give up now
Final Chorus (Stripped Down)
[Woman]
He walks that road with his head held low
Every step says what he won’t show
He played the part, he stayed strong
But the night went on too long
Outro
[Woman]
The road went quiet, the stars stayed still
He finally laid that burden down
Cold dawn breakin’ over the hill
A lonely man on a nowhere ground
