Take the Lead
Well I don't know why you stuck around but I'm sure glad that you did
I was careless with your heart-you were trying to be my friend
I was wrestling with demons spent too long in the cold
Had a sweet spot for the whiskey, I never could control
Still you stayed with me and talked me down
While everyone else disavowed that I had a chance to be redeemed
All the wrongs aren't right-yeah it's still a fight
At least there is a light that I can see
With you by my side I can face most nights
You've done your part but now you should concede
It's time I take the lead-take the lead
Self deprecating with a past pontificating when the last
Breath would fill my lungs with no relief
I was desperate did what desperate does
Didn't trust someone to love
A man that was broken as can be
But you stayed steady as a rock while I was spinning like a top
You understood the darkest sides of me
All the wrongs aren't right-yeah it's still a fight
At least there is a light that I can see
With you by my side I can face the night
You've done your part but now you should concede
It's time I take the lead
Take the lead
Now the wrongs are right-I can bring the fight
It feels so good to finally be at ease
With you by my side I can own the night
You've done your part but now you should concede
It's time I take the lead
Take the lead
