[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]

Drowning in bourbon

Numbing my pain

Fighting with demons, oh Lord

I just wish that they'd go away

There's no light in the day

Don't know how much more I can take

Oh no, afraid of tomorrow

The end of this bottle ain't that far away


[Chorus: Mackenzie Nicole]

I don't know where I went wrong

I've walked a million miles and now I'm so far from home

And I'm begging and pleading for someone to help me

Something won't let me lie down where I belong

There's no use in carrying on

Oh no, I'm better off alone


[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]

At the end of my rope

I'm so close to the edge

In fear of falling 'cause I know there's no one to catch me down there

So all of these scars

They say make you a man

Afraid of a feeling that bring back the demons that's stuck in my head


[Chorus: Mackenzie Nicole]

I don't know where I went wrong

I've walked a million miles and now I'm so far from home

And I'm begging and pleading for someone to help me

Something won't let me lie down where I belong

There's no use in carrying on

Oh no, I'm better off alone

Yes I am

I'm better off alone


[Post-Chorus: Jelly Roll & Mackenzie Nicole]

I know I need you right now

Lord just somehow

Won't you come and help this old soul

And I know, yes I know

I'm better off alone

I'm better off alone
