Last night i tried to find my demon; he was gone

My hands stretched out to hold him and he slipped right through my fingers

Never in my life have i felt so alone

As when my sword and shield were taken

Then you took my stinger

I can't change a thing

I don't want to

I don't want to

I woke up this morning; my old face was gone

With sunken eyes, this worn out skin

Cracked like desert mud

I've tried to turn my heart into a block of stone

It only cried out louder, don't you bury me

Don't leave me behind

All my masks are gone

All my weapons

I don't need them now

I've been lonely for so long

Wasn't looking for nothing, then you came along

All of my escorts through the dark

Have been my demons

And i can't find them no more

On a texas porch, i'll write another song

In hopes it brings me closer to you

Every time i sing it

I'm tired of hiding, tired of trying to be strong

I'd ask you to be stronger

But i don't blame you now

You've been lonely for too long

You went looking for nothing, then i came along

You came and you loved me at my worst

And if you have to move on

I beg you, take me with you when you go

When you go

When you go

When you go
