Back From the Bottom

[Verse 1] Face down on that kitchen floor Phone lit up, I let it ring I was tired of every mirror Showing me the same old thing You kicked the door, came storming in Threw my bottle in the sink (hey) Said, "I know the man you’re hiding And I won’t let him drown and sink" [Chorus] I was down at the bottom, breathing dust and doubt You reached in the dark and pulled my hurting heart out You held my shaking hands when I hated what I’d done You said, "Stand up slow, you’re still my someone" From the bottom, from the bottom You loved me back to being someone [Verse 2] You sat with me through every shake Counting every ragged breath You laughed about the dumb old days Just to pull me from the edge You called my brother, called my dad Made a circle round my shame Said, "We all got buried once You don’t have to stay this way" [Chorus] I was down at the bottom, breathing dust and doubt You reached in the dark and pulled my hurting heart out You held my shaking hands when I hated what I’d done You said, "Stand up slow, you’re still my someone" From the bottom, from the bottom You loved me back to being someone [Bridge] Now every scar’s a quiet story Every tear dried on your sleeve Every stumble that you carried Put some steel inside of me (oh yeah) So if you ever feel that lonely If your sky falls like it did on mine I’ll be the one that comes in swinging I’ll be first there on the line [Chorus] When I was at the bottom, breathing dust and doubt You reached in the dark and pulled my hurting heart out You held my shaking hands when I hated what I’d done You said, "Stand up slow, you’re still my someone" From the bottom, from the bottom You loved me back to being someone [Outro] From the bottom, I’m still rising Step by step, hand in hand From the bottom, I’ve got something I got you, I got a plan
