1.You Had Me At My Best
In the corner of my living room lies the ring she threw behind
I can't bring myself to pick it up, you know she still might
change her mind
Every morning around 6am the sun hits it just right
I'll spend another day in hell just waiting on the night
I see the way people look at me, I guess it's all over my face
The scar above my left eye is something I just can't erase
I try to look in someone else's mirror, try to find a different
view
Oh it's really sad to say, but it's all I got left of you
Chorus:
Well I'm the lone survivor of the wreckage that is left
I brought the walls down baby, I made all this mess
Lying in the ashes, I must confess
Oh you had me at my best
The pain sometimes disappears, but your memories are never gone
I lock myself in our bedroom cause it's best if I'm alone
I've been falling asleep in my old chair with the TV on
Cause our bed won't let me sleep, cause love is all it's known
Chorus
Chorus
Ya, You Had Me At My Best
You Had Me At My Best
2.Turn On The Lights
It's not easy anymore, everything seemed to change
In one blink of an eye, I'm the man to lay the blame
I let you slip away, tried so hard to make this right
I have nothing left to do, nowhere else to turn
And I know it's dark babe
Please turn on the lights
Let me see you crying
You're not here alone
I'm in here with you trying
I wanna see the truth
And find the broken pieces
We can make it right but you have, you have to
Turn on the lights
We can step into the sun, kiss the night good bye
Those things that hold you down cut 'em loose and fly
So keep reaching for my hand, I'll be hard for you to see
The shadows fill the room, baby I wont let you go
And I know it's dark babe
Please turn on the lights
Let me see you crying
You're not here alone
I'm in here with you trying
I wanna see the truth and find the broken pieces
We can make it right but you have to, you have to turn on the
lights
Please don't be afraid, girl it's only me
Yea, I am here to help you
Turn on the lights
Let me see you crying
You're not here alone
I'm in here with you trying
I wanna see the truth and find the broken pieces
We can make it right but you have to, you have to turn on the
lights
3.Trouble
I wouldn't say I didn't see her coming
A light that bright's hard to miss in a place that dark
She said yes to a drink while her fingers fumbled
With a cross on a chain that was swinging above her heart
When the morning sun set the midnight sky on fire
She left me like a thief not knowing what she took
I wish trouble always looked that good
I wish trouble always looked that good
I was still a little nervous when I got the courage to call
That bright red number she'd written on the back of my hand
A bottle of wine rode shotgun with a rose
While I was driving cross town thinking about turning back
Now there's a porch light burning a hole right through my
windshield
There's a silhouette standing at the screen door waiting for me
I wish trouble always looked that good
I wish trouble always looked that good
I know a million reasons not to go where I'm headed
Oh but when she smiles I can't even think of one
I wish trouble always looked that good
Yeah I wish trouble always looked that good
4.Into The Arms Of You
Baby don't speak, save your energy
Just write down what you have to say
Should I turn on the tv? Can I get you anything?
I'll be right here when you wake
I thought we had a million years
And I spent them like you'd be right here
Now it's coming in loud and clear
Maybe much too late my dear
CHORUS:
How long, baby, how long, have you held my heart?
Hold on, if you can hold on, but if we're torn apart
When you cross the great divide, beg Jesus to
Pull me onto the other side, into the arms of you
Sitting here drowning in a sea of our memories
Our first apartment, you on the couch
The way you kissed me, and all those little things
Now that's all I want to think about
God if you gave us a million more
I'd spend my life on what life should be spent for
Just let both of us walk out that door
CHORUS
I can't imagine living here without you
So if anything happens, that's what you've gotta do
Tell Pete to open up the gates and let me through
CHORUS
Into the arms of you
Into the arms of you
5.If We Ever Make It Home
Is anybody out there searching
Has anybody lost the way
Am I the only one who's hurting
Today
Must have got some bad directions
How'd we ever end up here
All this pain and desperation
And fear
If we ever make it home
They'll be peace like we've never known
Nobody's gonna walk alone
We'll be leaning on each other
Every wall that we've built up high
Is gonna fall right before our eyes
Love will surely conquer hate
If we ever make it home
There's darkness in the daylight
As the devil works his trade
He's the first one to the gravesite
With a smile on his face
There's a flicker in the distance
Where a single candle glows
And another walking with us
Who knows
If we ever make it home
They'll be peace like we've never known
Nobody's gonna to walk alone
We'll be leaning on each other
Loving one another
Every wall that we've built up high
Is gonna fall right before our eyes
Love will surely conquer hate
If we ever make it home
Oh if we ever make it home
6.Daddy And The Devil
Daddy and the devil walk side by side
Me and momma, we tried to hide
He couldn't stay sober if he tried
Daddy and the devil walked side by side
The devil had a hold on daddy's hand
He never had a straight and narrow plan
Down a dark and deadend road they ran
The devil had a hold on daddy's hand
CHORUS:
He took his soul and he took his pride
But the devil still ain't satisfied
We all cried the day he died
Daddy and the devil walked side by side
Daddy and the devil were the best of friends
We all know that story's end
But it's the son who pays for the father's sins
Daddy and the devil were the best of friends
CHORUS
Years gone by and I'm a full grown man
It took a lot of living to understand
How a good man falls for the devil's plans
The devil had a hold on daddy's hand
CHORUS
Daddy and the devil walked side by side
