(Verse 1) This old dirt road's the only one I'm walkin' tonight Whiskey in a coffee cup, tryin' to fake the feelin' right You said you'd be right here, through the fire and the flood But the only war zone lately is the one inside my blood I've been my own worst enemy, and my only trusted friend Fightin' a battle in my head again, thinkin' it'll never end. (Chorus) And you said, "No matter what," you'd be there 'til the end But I'm in these trenches alone, again, my only friend I've been tryin' to change who I am since day one To be the man I thought deserved you when the day was done I see the hurt in your eyes, and God knows I understand But what did I do that was so bad to make you let go of my hand? (Verse 2) I know I disappeared sometimes, lost inside the noise A ghost in my own home, a shadow with no voice There were years I was just gone, even when I was right there Lost in a world of worry, drownin' in thin air I thought I was protectin' you, keepin' my demons hid I never meant for the walls I built to be the thing I did. (Chorus) And you said, "No matter what," you'd be there 'til the end But I'm in these trenches alone, again, my only friend I've been tryin' to change who I am since day one To be the man I thought deserved you when the day was done I see the hurt in your eyes, and God knows I understand But what did I do that was so bad to make you let go of my hand? (Bridge) Was the silence that loud? Did the quiet get that deep? That the promise that you made me was just one you couldn't keep? I was fightin' for my sanity, thinkin' I was fightin' for you I guess I lost the battle, and I ended up losin' you, too. (Chorus) And you said, "No matter what," you'd be there 'til the end But I'm in these trenches alone, again, my only friend I've been tryin' to change who I am since day one To be the man I thought deserved you when the day was done I see the hurt in your eyes, and God knows I understand But what did I do that was so bad to make you let go of my hand? (Outro) Yeah, what did I do that was so bad... Just a man and his thoughts, and the best he ever had... Fadin' in the tail lights... gone for good this time... Just me and this battle... inside my mind.
